Notre Dame of Maryland University
Thursday, May 23, 6-7 p.m.
RSVP on PDO, course #87163

Notre Dame of Maryland University will host an information session to review course offerings. While there will be an overview of all programs in the Department of Education, the bachelor’s degree pathway for certification in ESOL or special education and the graduate-level pathway (a non-degree, graduate-level, state-approved teacher education program leading to initial certification in ESOL, special education, math, computer science or Spanish) are the two MCPS partnership programs.

For more information, contact Sarah Gruen or visit the Higher Education Partnerships website.
