The Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence (CTLE)
The Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence (CTLE) at Albertus Magnus College promotes a culture of teaching, learning and scholarship that is humanistically enlarging and practical in its application. The CTLE provides faculty development and academic support services that focus on increasing student success, enhancing classroom learning through the use of high-impact practices, and providing opportunities for faculty and students to collaborate in the search for truth and academic excellence.
Students meet one-on-one with an academic advisor for individualized conversations and planning focusing on their academic journey.
The Career Center offers personal consultations, group workshops and programs to teach self-discovery and career readiness skills.
The Practicum & Internship Program provides practical hands-on experiences that reinforce academic coursework and expand classroom learning in preparation for meaningful careers.
Service learning gives students an opportunity to practice civic engagement and social responsibility as they develop workforce and community leadership skills.
Study abroad helps students develop skills a classroom setting might never provide. Students can explore the world, learn a new language and get to know another culture first-hand.
