University of Hartford Masters of Education, Early Childhood
Students enrolled in this Primary course will also have the opportunity to complete an Early Childhood Masters of Education Degree (M Ed) with a concentration in Montessori from the University of Hartford.  The Montessori training accounts for 15 of the required 33 credits needed for this degree.  Credits for the AMI Primary Training are offered at a greatly reduced rate of $100 per credit.  All other credits are paid for at the regular graduate credit rate for University of Hartford.  If a cohort of 7 students are entered into this special program classes can be tailored to meet their scheduling needs so not to conflict with days and times for the AMI training.

A complete outline of the M Ed Course requirements can be accessed by clicking the link below.

The requirements for this Unique Endorsement #110 leading to the Connecticut State Certification are outlined in the link below.
