The Center for Education places a strong emphasis on excellence in teaching. Its expert faculty are very student-focused. At Widener's Center for Education, learning is viewed as a cooperative enterprise between faculty and students. They take an active and personal interest in the education of their students and they are readily available to students outside of class. As such, the focus at the Center for Education is on each student as a whole person and as a member of the educational community.

The Center for Education's programs provide many benefits, including:

• A reputation for high quality, professional instruction at both the undergraduate and graduate levels
• Dedication to adult, part-time graduate programs that are designed for working professionals

• Flexibility and rolling admissions
• Convenient, easily accessible location
