“ The learning experience in the Guided Studies program was well beyond my satisfaction. The program provides a quality and outstanding education tailored to my needs in enhancing the learning needs of my students with disabilities in adapted physical education. The classes were interesting, challenging and informative. It gave me an opportunity for personal growth in the field of Special Education.”

“ The strategies and techniques I have learned have been invaluable to the success of my students and my own professional development. During my time at Fitchburg State, and even after graduation, I always felt supported and prepared for the experiences and challenges I face as an educator. The members of the Education Department staff are not only educators, but inspirational role models.”

“ The reading specialist program classes at Fitchburg State made me very well prepared to take the MTEL test. Several of my colleagues who have already graduated from other programs have been trying to pass for a long time and I passed on my first try. Thanks so much for the wonderful program.”

“I love the program, the involvement of the professors, and the well-rounded classes. I am learning so much that is applicable to my profession.”

“ This program has given me the knowledge and confidence to manage many different situations that may arise in a special education classroom. This degree along with my experience has helped me obtain the job of my dreams. I found the professors to be experts in the field and a wealth of information. The staff involved in the program are able to offer experience based knowledge and guidance at each and every step along the way.”

“ The Fitchburg State graduate program was an outstanding experience. The curriculum was current and relevant and each project utilized the students with whom I was working at the time so there was a practical application. Having accessible professors whose expertise came no only from their own education but also from their experiences in the field was invaluable. I couldn't be happier about my education.”
