Reflecting the superintendents’ concerns that every teacher and administrator gain information and learn about new strategies for working with diverse populations and children with special needs in their schools, each degree contains four core courses (12) credits in the areas of bilingual and second language learners, literacy, culturally diverse learners and exceptional learners. The remainder of the degree requires an additional 21 credits within the area of specialization. Teachers and administrators who do not choose to enter a degree program may register for one or more of the core courses independently.

To meet the challenges of the schools still further, The School of Education is offering a Superintendent’s Scholarship to every student matriculating within one of the programs.

Upon presentation of an application for admission signed either by your school superintendent or building principal and meeting the entrance requirements for graduate study at St. John’s, tuition will be $1,050.00 per credit.*

These programs all lead to professional certification.
