54 Global Graduate Programs The mission of The College of New Jersey Global Programs is to create exemplary professionals by providing focused professional graduate studies in education, grounded in current best practices, in preparation for our students to take instructional or leadership positions in interna- tional schools throughout the world. Our programs in professional edu- cation comprise an extensive, integrated, and focused collection of experiences that are recognized worldwide and serve to expand the influence of the College and its mission. Through its global graduate programs, TCNJ offers a number of professional development options to educators throughout the world at international sites. In addition, stu- dents enrolled in any of our on-campus (Ewing) graduate programs are welcome to participate in summer global graduate studies.
