The Graduate School dedicated to the art of teaching.
In teaching there’s no substitute for experience.
That’s why the education programs at Union Graduate College were
designed by teachers and, without exception, are taught by proven
practitioners who excel in their subject matter and in the classroom.
Union Graduate College programs focus exclusively on the art of teaching at
the secondary level. Renowned for their rigor and quality, they
are aligned with National Board Certification standards and principles
and serve as a model for certification programs in New York State.
No wonder Union graduates are among the most qualified and sought
after in the field.
