Student Testimonials
The faculty in this program are truly top-shelf. The knowledge they share and questions they answer have provided an additional layer of learning. I have enjoyed such a positive working relationship with every professor in this program and quickly realized the benefit of each assignment when I took the practice FELE.
Despite being in a blended program where most of the coursework occurs online, I feel connected to every resource the UF College of Education has to offer. The knowledgeable staff has been nothing short of encouraging since day one and I feel fortunate to learn from them.
