Education

Students enrolling in the undergraduate education program begin field experiences that are designed to integrate theory and practice. First up is a sequence of structured classroom observations in local schools, followed by a supervised, 150-hour pre-practicum in a local school. Then, you’ll finish with a full-time, off-campus student teaching practicum.

If you’re interested in teaching and already hold a bachelor’s degree, our Teacher Certification Pathways can help accelerate your path to teacher certification. Wilson works with you to create an individualized program to help you balance work and school, and our network helps connect you with school systems eager to hire our graduates.
 

Wilson College offers five graduate programs for the certified teacher. The programs are Master of Education, Master of Special Education, Master of Educational Technology, Master of Mass Customized Learning and Master in TESOL.
