I landed an offer before I even graduated. That’s rare. It shows how well the program prepared me for the interview process. I still send my old professors questions and ideas about curriculum and pedagogy. They always make the time for me.

Program Info

Quinnipiac University’s Dual-Degree Master of Arts in Teaching in Elementary Education (4+1) not only provides you with the knowledge and skills you will need as a teacher—it also gives you the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with inspiring teachers in the field and take classes with experienced professors. QU’s dual-degree pathway lets you complete your bachelor‘s degree, along with a master‘s degree in teaching and your elementary teaching certificate (grades 1-6) within five years. This allows your teaching career to continue uninterrupted, as keeping your license to teach requires the completion of a master‘s degree during the first six to eight years of teaching.
