Graduate Studies in Education

Mastering Excellence

Building upon The W’s rich tradition of preparing teacher candidates for the profession, the Graduate Programs in Education offer options for career teachers to expand and improve their expertise in the field.

The W also offers an alternate path to becoming a teacher, for professionals with a Bachelor's Degree in any subject, through the Master of Arts in Teaching.

Graduates of these programs are consistently recognized for their professionalism and excellence in teaching.
