Designed for Current Professionals and Those Seeking Licensure
The Professional Educator Preparation Program at NEC is designed for individuals who work with children or youth as well as for those who want to add a new licensure or become licensed teachers. Individuals seeking teacher licensure can earn licensure alone or their MEd along with licensure. In addition to academic preparation, courses associated with the MEd or teacher licensure offer the highest level of professional interaction. Students and faculty work collaboratively to become effective teachers and leaders.
Superb Faculty
Students study with NEC’s full-time faculty, as well as with highly respected practitioners and scholars from the community. The program is as firmly linked to the professional teaching community as it is to NEC’s outstanding Education department.
