Urban & Multicultural Education
More than ever before, educators need to understand the cultures of all children, adolescents, and families. The College of Mount Saint Vincent’s graduate program in Urban & Multicultural Education prepares teachers to assume teaching and leadership positions as practitioners who can provide productive learning environments in multicultural and multilingual classrooms and schools. A unique, cutting-edge program, it is designed to give teachers the knowledge, skills, and expertise they need to teach effectively in today’s increasingly diverse school systems. It’s also a values-centered program based on the belief that learning and culture are inseparable, as are relationships among learner, teacher, environment, and purpose for learning. Students in the program benefit from small classes, one-on-one advising with dedicated faculty, and conveniently scheduled classes.

Nursing
Due to the changing face of health care, nurses with advanced degrees are in great demand in the workplace. More than ever before, today’s registered and advanced-practice nurses are required to think critically and with compassion, in a complex and rapidly changing system. The College of Mount Saint Vincent offers graduate programs that lead to careers as clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, and nurse administrators. Classes are conveniently scheduled in the evening, and students work directly with nationally recognized faculty with experience in the field and in the classroom.

For students who already hold master’s degrees, we offer programs that lead to advanced certification as an adult nurse practitioner, a family nurse practitioner, or a nurse educator.
