MA or Bust for Education Major

Little about me, I'm from MA and want to major in education. Are there any stand-out schools in Massachusetts you all would recommend for my major?

Massachusetts has a plethora of excellent schools that offer strong programs in education. Here are a few worth considering:

1. Harvard University: Harvard Graduate School of Education offers undergraduate students a multitude of resources and research opportunities even if the Education Studies track is not a major. Harvard itself doesn't need any introduction, and the prestige can open up many opportunities in the education field.

2. Boston College: Boston College's School of Education and Human Development is renowned for emphasis on ethics and social justice. Their undergraduate program in Education allows students to focus on elementary or secondary education. It also positions you well for graduate study.

3. Clark University: Clark has a good program in Education and offers the possibility of a 5-year BA/Masters program. An added advantage is that Clark is a member of Hiatt Center City Year partnership, which can help provide scholarships for City Year corps members.

4. UMass Amherst: Their College of Education allows students to choose from various concentrations such as early childhood education, middle school teaching, and special education, among others. It is a research-intensive public university, which can provide access to abundant study and research resources.

Remember, the right choice will depend on your individual wants and needs. Consider factors such as the program's curriculum, extracurricular opportunities related to your career interests, class size, advisor support, financial factors, and location. I recommend researching these programs in more detail, reaching out to current education students at these schools to hear about their experiences, and, if possible, visiting the campuses to get a feel for each environment.
