The mission of DWU Graduate Studies is to provide high-quality graduate programs in a liberal arts environment by emphasizing the values of learning, leadership, faith and service. We strive to promote excellence in teaching, learning, scholarship and research. The graduate studies division provides guidance for development of programs in order to ensure rigorous academic preparation and leadership opportunities for professional development. The program objectives are to: 1. amplify and refresh instructional pedagogy of area educators, which will reinvigorate area school environments; 2. provide a setting for professional growth for area educators; 3. encourage exploration of contemporary instructional practice and investigative application of identified practices; 4. promote focused study of current educational scheme and methodology; and 5. target classroom diversity and accommodation in direct relationship to constructivist theory, as outlined in the DWU Department of Education mission and philosophy. Candidates may register at any time to begin a two-year program of study; however, it is recommended that candidates begin study in June.
