MOLD YOUNG MINDS

Pace University’s Master of Science for Teachers (MST) in Childhood and Bilingual Education program will prepare you with bilingual and second language teaching methodologies to educate children in grades 1–6. Differentiated instruction is emphasized, and technology is incorporated into all aspects of the program to successfully provide standards-based, practical education to all students at the elementary level.

BE AHEAD OF THE CLASS

Because of our commitment to fostering international collaboration and preparing globally minded teachers, we are one of the only education schools in the region to offer faculty-led, international courses that provide our teacher candidates a hands-on learning experience in Italy and Ecuador.

Get hired. Our strong partnerships with local school districts mean that our students are getting hired before they even graduate.

Our coursework integrates key knowledge and dispositions necessary to teach in today’s modern classrooms, using technology to address the specific needs of all learners, including students with disabilities and culturally and linguistically diverse students.

ADD OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCES

Complete 100 hours of fieldwork that follows a clinically rich model, integrated with intensive coursework, in collaboration with partner schools. Student teaching will be completed in childhood classrooms, as well as practicum experience in bilingual education. Study abroad courses can be substituted for bilingual courses or core requirements with approval.
