Professional Education
Professional Education Interim Chair: Paulette Pepin, Associate Professor, Ph.D., Fordham University
The professional education program, leading to a master of science degree in education, provides a curriculum for continuing professional growth. Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution of higher education and teaching certification in Connecticut or elsewhere. This program does not lead to the University’s recommendation for teacher certification, but candidates holding a current Connecticut teacher certification may wish to consider designing their professional education program to include courses that will enable them to apply directly to the Connecticut State Department of Education to add a cross-endorsement on their current teaching certificate.
