Educational Therapy Programs at HNU
Unlock potential in struggling learners
Do you want to help students discover a love of learning? Are you an educator or someone looking for a career change who seeks to better serve struggling students? HNU is one of only two schools in the U.S. to offer a master’s degree in educational therapy. Gain a foundation or further develop your skills in assessment, diagnosis, and intervention techniques to help children and adults with learning challenges. Built for working professionals, the program has a flexible format and schedule. Students may also gain clinical practice experience at the award-winning Raskob Learning Institute and Day School, an on-campus facility dedicated to serving students with learning differences.
