Arizona State University Reviews of Master's in Secondary Education

"Mary Lou Fulton offers an alternative path to teaching. Whether you're starting a new career as an educator or are looking to improve your credentials, you will become more knowledgeable in education policy and practices. I enjoyed going through the program with my cohort, I really got to know my peers, and I worked with all of them in different ways throughout the two years. It gave me the ability to meet teachers outside of my school district and hear about different perspectives on education through Arizona. I enjoyed the variety of professors that taught the classes. They were supportive of all the teachers in the program and offered useful advice that could be applied in the classroom. At times it was difficult to balance teaching and completing a Master's program, but the small cohort and support from the professors helped complete the program successfully. I would recommend this program to people in Teach for America, and teachers who work at a charter school and have not yet received their certification."

"Even though it has been several years since I graduated from Arizona State University, I can still remember the profound effects that my attendance at ASU had on my life. I can remember my first day at ASU. The energy that accompanied the thousands of students making their way to their classes was intoxicating. The art work that was available for sale on a daily basis, I have yet to see out side the University. Everything I needed was right there, at the center of the campus, and my life evolved around my studies only. I can honestly say that the best moment of my life was when I graduated from ASU. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming and it was such a gratifying moment . My professors at the College of Education always remain close in my memory and I use something from each and every one of them in my classroom to this day. Every one should have the college experience, especially at Arizona State University."

"Arizona State University is a phenomenal university. I specifically attend the Mary Lou Fulton's Teacher's College. Classes are primarily practical with ideas and instruction that can be immediately applied in the student teaching aspect. Advisers and professors are accessible and knowledgeable."

"ASU offers a quality education program with access to great teachers and professors throughout the state."

"The graduate program in Secondary Education at ASU has good intentions-- they want to help mold educators for our modern world, not just keep the same teaching styles from years past. However, the method in which the instructors teach is for the most part identical to the old methods of teaching. The professors could benefit from "practicing what they preach", and I have learned more from my substitute teaching than I have from my classroom instruction."
