The education program accommodates both students who are preparing to assume professional roles in education and those interested in learning about education for its own sake. The Education Department, the Jacob Hiatt Center for Urban Education, and liberal arts faculty work together in collaboration with the Worcester Public Schools to provide students with programs in urban-teacher education that qualify students for initial license at the elementary, middle and secondary teaching levels. The department also offers special sequences combining coursework and practical experience in Human Services and School Psychology.
