Teacher Education

Teacher Education is an important mission of the university. The program develops out of the questions of what it means to learn and what it means to teach. An emphasis is placed upon a sound academic preparation through the liberal arts curriculum. A rigorous pedagogical program in the art and science of teaching is offered. The Department of Education develops individual programs leading to elementary or secondary state certification. A concentration in education is offered for students interested in teaching but not seeking state teaching certification. A concentration in education will help prepare individuals to enter the teaching profession in schools outside of the traditional public school setting.
