"Niagara University has given me the opportunity to reach my full potential as an educator. Through its constructivist approach, I have gained hands-on experience in the classroom for over 14 weeks. Niagara University has amazing resources and faculty. Each class is constructed through design, to allow graduate students to work together, gain knowledge and perspective, and gain the skills required to be an effective teacher. I highly recommend Niagara University to interested future educators."

Ms. Hunt, Ontario, Canada

Courses offered through the Teacher Education Masters Program are comprehensive and have

real-world applications. Smaller class sizes provide graduate students an intimate forum in which to discuss and exchange pedagogical ideas. The MSEd program provided me with an arsenal of practical knowledge and skills in dealing with current issues in the classroom, namely differentiated learning. The principles introduced to me remain timeless, almost ten years after my graduation from the program. Thanks, NU!
