Overview

The graduate programs are characterized by a commitment to the needs of the student. They are concerned with developing a community of learners who view education holistically and who share a commitment to the highest standards of professional, moral and personal behavior. All programs are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and, where appropriate, by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

The intent of the programs is to prepare leaders and change agents to serve in schools, business and other professional and academic settings. The cooperation of surrounding school districts, businesses and other agencies facilitates continuous practical application of learning.
