Graduate Programs in Education

At Earlham, few activities are more esteemed and joyful than teaching—and creating educators. The College’s long-standing commitment to excellence in teaching encourages and develops your passions and potential as an educator. Earlham’s M.A.T. and M.Ed. programs are unique in focusing on the cohort model and developing a culture of collegiality. Earlham intends to do more than provide licensure for teachers. The programs’ purpose is to develop educators to be leaders in their school communities, who model outstanding classroom practices and who prepare them to be socially active and morally conscious citizens.

Earlham’s grounding in Quaker practices offers an excellent vehicle to face the societal challenges reflected in every classroom; these practices include cooperative community, the pursuit of an openness to truth, respect for consciences of others and a commitment to equity. The M.A.T and M.Ed. programs seek to awaken the teacher within through a unique cohort model and four cornerstone principles.
