Why choose Rowan's inclusive education program?

An Inclusive Education degree prepares teachers to meet the needs of all students in the classroom, including those from diverse racial, cultural, linguistic, socioeconomic backgrounds as well as students with disabilities.

Our approach is designed for future teachers to move through the program in learning teams, creating a community-based approach.

The elementary program is available to both first-year students and transfers, while the Early Childhood program is available only as a 3+1 program through RCSJ at Gloucester and RCBC.
