In addition to the baccalaureate degrees offered through the Education Department, Westfield State University offers a range of other undergraduate and graduate level educator licensure programs leading to beginning or advanced careers in education.

Westfield State is a leading institution of higher education in the preparation of teachers. We embrace a conceptual framework that meaningfully unites a diverse number of teacher preparation programs: Educators as Leaders Building Learning Communities. The Education Unit has ten core outcomes that our candidates must achieve. What Makes us Great is our faculty commitment to pre-service candidates’ and professional educators’ success in achieving those outcomes.
