91¿´Æ¬

Concurrent M.Ed. Pathway

91¿´Æ¬ offers a 33-credit Master of Education program in Montessori Education with three concentrations: Birth to Three (0-3), Early Childhood Education (3-6), and Elementary Education (6-12). This unique program is offered in partnership with the select group of MACTE Accredited Montessori teacher training institutes listed below. Candidates must dually enroll at one of our off-site partner institutes and earn graduate credits throughout their MACTE Accredited Montessori teacher training, then complete subsequent online coursework with 91¿´Æ¬. Note: this program does not require travel to 91¿´Æ¬'s campus, and therefore an I-20 cannot be issued by 91¿´Æ¬.)
