Facilities & Technology

Learning Commons
The Learning Commons changes minds about what a library is, how it works, and what it's supposed to do. By seamlessly navigating the ever-changing learning landscape, The Learning Commons in effect removes previous barriers to knowledge creation. Since it is far more than a repository for information, the facility instantly became a place where people collaborate and create knowledge, using the latest technology and the energy that is borne of intellectual exchange and inspirational spaces.

Those who do not hold Level I or II Certification will not receive PDE endorsement but can request a certificate of completion after satisfactorily completing the Online program.
Obtaining the First Teaching Certification
A student who wishes to obtain a Pennsylvania Instructional I Certificate in specialized PK-12 and 7-12 areas, but who does not wish to pursue the master’s degree program, or who already holds a master’s degree, can enroll in a post- baccalaureate, certification-only program. Determination of individual student requirements for certification will be made after all previous transcripts have been evaluated. A student seeking only certification may receive transfer credit for equivalent courses up to fifty percent of the Education Core requirement credits at Marywood University. Eligibility for certification is determined by fulfillment of state requirements, including PRAXIS II testing (as required in each area of certification) taken upon completion of the program.
There are three options for post baccalaureate certification that are listed below in combination with a Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.). Specific courses for the certification and additional courses for the MAT are noted below.
