Graduate Education

Programs and Degrees

“Gordon College's graduate education program is unlike other adult learning environments because of the dedicated and knowledgeable professors. They truly promote excellence in education as they work diligently to meet the needs of the adult leader and equip today's educators with the tools to be successful in their field. The professors are accommodating to personal needs yet passionate about their field, which promotes excellence from their students.

As a result of the Gordon graduate education program, I enter my classroom confident in my understanding of current theory and practice in reading, empowered to improve my literacy instruction, and knowledgeable of the individual needs of my students.”

Elizabeth Bregou, M.A.T. Reading
