Touro University Graduate School of Education

The Graduate School of Education’s mission is to prepare highly qualified teachers, leaders, knowledge developers, and disseminators.

This mission is in keeping with the Judaic commitment to intellectual pursuit and service to humanity. We strive to educate teachers, school leaders, and school personnel who are distinguished by their academic expertise, ethics, and commitment to providing education to the community. To actualize its mission, the School of Education has made the following commitments:

• To recruit and serve a highly qualified student body.
• To provide high-quality instruction in order to prepare skilled education practitioners who will maximize their potential for excellence in their career pursuits. In addition to providing a strong curriculum based on research and cutting-edge education practices, instruction promotes development of students’ critical, analytical, technological, and research competencies.
• To offer students a highly professional and competent faculty with a wide range of experiences.
• To conduct research and demonstration activities that contribute to the development and promulgation of new educational theories and practices for the benefit of future generations of PreK – 12 students. Our graduate students are encouraged to participate in the School’s research undertakings.
• To use our resources to provide services to the broad metropolitan community and to simultaneously nurture among our students their own long-term commitments to community service.

With eight master’s degrees and seven advanced certificate programs, an experienced faculty, a proven curriculum, an understanding and respect for where you’re coming from and where you want to go, and impressive alumni who are making an impact in ways big and small, we have what you need to succeed.

Caring Community

But more than that, we’re a community. A community of learners and teachers; of dedicated and diverse students, passionate about education today and molding young minds to take on tomorrow. We’re a community that cares, and since opening in 1993 we’ve worked tirelessly to improve the education opportunities and lives of all children. It’s why 75% of our graduates go on to teach in the public school system, and why many of our alumni and faculty are actively engaged in community service.

Committed Faculty

We’re a community of committed faculty who are as serious about your development as an educator as you are and work hard to develop a master’s in education curriculum that graduates you wholly prepared. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more enthusiastic cheerleader of your success than your professors here.

Supportive Environment

We’re a community that understands juggling many responsibilities—work, home, school—because we’ve been where you are now. It’s why our schedule is flexible, our tuition competitive, and why we’re fanatical about giving you the support you need on this journey/quest.

Prepared Graduates

When you graduate you’ll join our community of well-prepared, successful alumni. Teacher. School Counselor. Principal. Whatever your goal, we’ve gotten others there, and can get you there. It’s why the Department of Education ranks us so highly, and why we take such pride in our programs. What does all of that add up to? Great impact.
