Graduate Programs

The Department of Education at The Catholic University of America is under the School of Arts and Sciences, the largest school in the University. The department has 10 full-time, tenure-track faculty, two clinical faculty members,  two research faculty members, one adjunct faculty member and one director of field experiences. The faculty is committed to pursuing excellence in instruction, research, and service functions.

The Department boasts extremely small class sizes - typically 15 students/class at the undergraduate level and less than 10 at the graduate level.  Student enrollment numbers about 200, with approximately equal numbers of graduate and undergraduate students. The Department also supports the training of about 65 students who are preparing for careers as secondary-school teachers.

The Department offers both the Master of Arts (M.A.) and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree, as well as an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Catholic Educational Leadership.  Additionally, the Department includes the Professional Development Workshops and Institutes, which are designed for teachers, counselors, administrators, diagnosticians, psychologists, and other school personnel to gain credits toward recertification.
