Getting you in the classroom early
We get our students out in the field early and often. We have students in placements in schools more often than any other school in Maine. It makes a difference. Our students are polished, competent- they know their content. That comes from all that practice out in the field.
Pick Your Pathway
No matter which degree you pursue, our education programs offer one-on-one support as you gain hands-on immersion in the field and the classroom.

Our Immersive Approach
Education classes first year. You’ll teach junior year.
We place students in the classroom early to make sure that education is a fit for them. These classroom teaching experiences build your skills and you’ll get more ownership as you go so you are prepared your senior year to step into your role as a teacher.
Teach at the Secondary Level
For those wanting to teach in the secondary level, at Saint Joseph’s we do it differently. Here, you’ll major in your content area with the education piece as a minor, which is what administrators and principal’s want.
Our MSED students are out in the community.
They’re working in the community and they’re really making a difference. Our graduates are in leadership positions.

Programs and Partnerships
Our undergraduate education program works with area elementary and secondary schools as well as community colleges.
Saint Joseph's MSED program works with local school systems to establish graduate student cohorts that are trained as teachers and administrators in their schools. These cohorts are helpful for retention as well as "growing their own" staffing models that ease recruitment challenges. Saint Joseph's provides a program discount to schools and staff that participate in our cohort programs.
