I'm really interested in becoming a teacher and want to study in New Jersey. Does anyone know which colleges in NJ have the best education programs? I'd appreciate any insights!
Sure, in New Jersey, several colleges are known for their strong education programs. One of the most notable is Rutgers University, specifically the Graduate School of Education, which offers an undergraduate minor in Education as a Social Science. If you're interested in becoming an early child or elementary school teacher, check out The College of New Jersey's (TCNJ) School of Education. Montclair State University also has a well-regarded College of Education and Human Services.
Kean University's College of Education is another good choice, especially if you wish to focus on Special Education. Rowan University's College of Education is great for Health and Physical Education and Seton Hall University offers an interesting program in Education Studies, which could be a substitute if you're more interested in policy, administration, or counseling than classroom teaching.
Remember it's beneficial to research specific offerings to ensure that the program will help with your career goals and interests in teaching.
