What makes Union’s M.A. in Education program unique?
“After some initial courses, the final 24 credits are individualized for each student – so there’s the opportunity for each student to focus on the area of education that interests them. Individualized courses have a one-to-one student-teacher ratio. Six credits include a hands-on project to apply some of the ideas you have been studying. The major culminates with a thesis, which provides the opportunity to delve into the student’s selected area of focus.”
