The Department of Teacher Education and Professional Development offers students excellent preparation for graduate teaching programs.

Consider the key features distinguishing the graduate teacher education programs at CMU:

• Small class sizes
• Close contact with faculty advisors
• Evening, weekend, and summer courses
• State-of-the-art library and research facilities
• Integrated technology in the classrooms
• Award-winning faculty

Each program is unique; yet there are core courses required of all. If you are undecided about which program you wish to follow, register as a non-degree grad student and take a few of the core courses. However, we recommend that you take no more than nine credits before determining a specific program.
