St. Catherine University partners with the Montessori Residency of Chicago to provide streamlined, online pathways to complete bachelor's or master's degrees online.

Through the partnership, St. Kate's grants university credit for Montessori teaching credentials earned through MRC, which MRC alumni can apply toward a bachelor's degree or master's degree. Students can earn a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, with an option to complete requirements for a teaching license (birth-third grade). Or, students can enroll in the one-year Master's in Montessori Education & Leadership degree. You'll learn with Montessorians from around the country, guided by experienced faculty mentors who are national leaders in Montessori education.

MRC graduates enrolling in these programs also receive a special partner scholarship!
