"The Career Switcher Program provided excellent professional and experienced teachers that helped guide my course into that first year of teaching. They were patient and full of knowledge. I found the classes prepared me for the classroom by helping me to best find out what type of teacher I could be and how I should teach students of different learning styles."

"I joined George Mason's Career Switcher program in January 2003, and eight short months later, I received a job teaching at a Fairfax County public high school. In those eight months, I was able to work full time. And because of my previous work experience, I didn't need to do any student teaching. No other program would have allowed me to do that. The faculty at George Mason are supportive and caring, and fought tooth and nail for us to get the recognition we needed as fully qualified teachers. I was so happy with the school, I stuck around for another two years and received my Masters. You can't beat the program."
