The Bachelor of Arts in University Studies with a Montessori Concentration is designed for students who have previous college experience and who wish to finish a bachelor's degree. Students can complete the program on a part-time or full-time basis, and many of the courses may be taken online. The program pairs the University of Hartford s curriculum with Association of Montessori Internationale (AMI) teacher training, putting students on course to earn an internationally-recognized AMI diploma by the time they graduate. The program is a partnership between the University of Hartford and the Montessori Training Center Northeast (MTCNE), an AMI-teacher training center managed by the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC).
