Why study at RSU

Authentic learning experiences will prepare you for a career in primary or secondary classrooms, early childhood settings and beyond.

Education is a rewarding career that can truly change lives. Few other jobs let you have such a profound impact on the lives of so many young children. As an educator you’ll play an important role in the social, cognitive and emotional development of your students — and become a respected member of your community.
