What differentiates Alverno College's Master of Arts program from other programs?

Alverno has long been a leader in education, and is recognized nationally and internationally for the faculty's work with ability-based education and performance-based assessment. The Master of Arts degree carries on the college's tradition in the liberal arts, with its particular focus on integrative, experiential and reflective approaches to learning.

Alverno's Master of Arts, focusing on teaching, learning and assessment, is designed for teachers in K-12 schools and in technical and community colleges, and for persons working in the areas of instructional design, training, and human-resource or organizational development in business, government and not-for-profit agencies.

Open to men and women, the courses are available in Alverno's Weekend College timeframe, which meets every other weekend during the fall and spring semesters. Courses are offered in four weekend time slots: Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. Some courses meet on selected weekday evenings. A special summer schedule offers options for daytime, evening and weekend classes.

The curriculum consists of a common set of core courses and courses specific to each specialization. It is designed so that candidates can complete the degree in two or three years. It is also possible to complete the program on a "summer only" basis.
