The UC Difference

Going above and beyond the placement requirements for accreditation, you’ll join a group of your peers in real-life scenarios to engage in cycles of planning, teaching, and reflecting. Supported by our expert academic staff every step of the way, you’ll graduate with the tools to teach with passion and confidence in any environment.
