Teaching children is very challenging and rewarding work. D'Youville College's master of science programs prepare you to create productive teaching environments that help children and adolescents excel.

Our faculty are readily available to our students. Tenured faculty hold doctoral degrees and have distinguished themselves through research, publications, conference presentations and teaching.

Our graduate students range in age from 22 to over 50 years of age. They come from a variety of educational backgrounds. Their knowledge and experience add a great deal to classroom discussions and activities.
