Graduate Education Programs
Join a Community Dedicated to the Field of Education
When you join Rosemont College as a student, you join a community of innovative educators who are reinvigorating the art of teaching in classrooms across the world. Through Rosemont’s graduate education and certification programs, you will acquire the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to make a difference in your educational community as a teacher, education specialist, or administrator.
Multiple Options for Educators to Build Credentials
At Rosemont, we understand the complex world of education. In fact, all graduate education programs are approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. While an MA in Education is the perfect steppingstone for many, we understand that depending on your desired career trajectory, you may require unique training and certifications. This is why Rosemont offers many opportunities for educators to enhance their credentials through graduate programs and certifications.
Rosemont offers the following master's degrees and certifications in education:
- MA in Education
- MA in Education and PK-4 Certification
- MA in Educational Leadership with PK-12 Principal Certification
- MA in Literacy and PK-12 Reading Certification
- PK-12 English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) Program Specialist Certification (Online)
Please note: In some cases, students may choose to pursue certification without obtaining a master’s degree. Contact Program Director Denise Falconi at denise.falconi@rosemont.edu for details.
