Saint Louis University's School of Education invites you to learn more about our three new post-baccalaureate certificate programs in Advanced Literacy Methods, Educational Equity, and Inclusive Practices and the MA in Education, Principles, and Practices. The certificate programs are 15 hours and the MA in EPP is a 32-hour program; both programs are a great way for new teachers and education advocates to reimagine the future of education.
We continue to offer long-standing graduate programs for educators interested in leadership at the principal or district level and programs in higher education administration. Applications for our high-quality education at affordable prices are due by November 1 for Spring.
Join our community of educators pursuing programs aligned with district level strategic long-term plans in the St. Louis metro area. Contact Dr. Wangard to ask how you can become an agent of change in your community.
