Massachusetts Is Tops for Educators

According to a 2022 WalletHub study, Massachusetts is among the very best states in the country for teachers, based on income growth potential, student-to-teacher ratios, and more. In addition, some districts are facing a teacher shortage, leading to projections of an 11% increase in demand for educators at all levels.

In-Person Fieldwork

Throughout each initial licensure program, you will participate in a practicum relevant to your course of study within the School of Education. These invaluable experiences will put your knowledge into practice allowing you to work in a classroom setting directly with students, providing a nice counterbalance to earning your degree online.
