“My experience as part of the Master of Education program at Roberts Wesleyan has been wonderful.  I feel that I am learning the real life skills that I will need to have in the classroom.  The professors are knowledgeable, friendly and really take the time to support your development as a teacher.  The classes are engaging and make you think on a higher level.  If anyone is looking to go into an education field, I would suggest attending Roberts Wesleyan College.”
