The goal of the program is to advance scholars who are competent, caring and qualified, who can positively impact student learning, and who are committed to life-long learning in a global society.

If you are interested in becoming a teacher, the courses, clinical experiences, and student teaching provide a strong foundation to prepare you to impact student learning positively.

All programs leading to certification or rank change are approved by the Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB).
