Master of Science
This 16-month program prepares teacher candidates to become classroom teachers in grades K-8, as well as special education teachers in grades K-12. Candidates engage with K-12 students from the start of their program, spending a full school year working alongside practicing educators in local public schools. During the summer, candidates will develop Project Based Learning activities, and then work with Elementary students during a summer learning program sponsored by SNHU. This program is competency-based, ensuring graduates of this program are fully prepared to teach in the growing number of NH schools who have adopted a competency-based approach to teaching and learning. Teachers with certifications in both Elementary Education and Special Education are sought after by school districts looking to hire new teachers. Students must pass the Praxis Core Academic Skills or approved equivalent prior to enrolling in their third semester.
