Graduate Education Meets Jesuit Ideals
Our graduate education academic programs offer a variety of degrees based on your interests and professional goals.
Teacher Tuition Relief Program
Le Moyne’s Teacher Tuition Relief Program offers a significant tuition decrease for students in the College’s Master of Science in Education (MS.Ed.) and Master of Science in Teaching (M.S.T.) programs. The new tuition rate is competitive with that at state institutions. In addition: The NYS Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program includes up to $5,000/year for up to four years. NYSUT teachers can often qualify for loan forgiveness programs, like the Perkins Loan Teacher Cancellation Program, by working in low-income schools or in high-need educational areas.

I treasure being able to make connections and share the connections that I already have with a current Le Moyne student, and I look forward to participating in the program again. Le Moyne was such a special place for me as a student, and being able to contribute to the community after I have graduated is such a wonderful way to say thank you to the place and the people that helped shape me into the person I am.”
