Master of Arts in Education

We’ve been educating Chicago-area teachers and administrators for decades, so we know exactly what you need to succeed. We keep our classes small so we can individualize your North Central experience. You’ll build both your proficiency in your content area and your understanding of your particular teaching environment.

Our Educational Leadership and Administration track leads to a Type 75 certificate and will advance your career as a department chair, dean, assistant principal or principal. Our Curriculum and Instruction track is designed for classroom teachers wishing to specialize in curriculum, leadership or reading.
