Education students focus their studies on developing the skillsets required for managing a classroom and creating an environment in which minds of the young and the old can learn effectively.

By combining our foundational element of Biblical education with the modern tools of leading a classroom, students are challenged to evaluate how their faith interacts with their ability to teach, preparing them for careers in both Christian and secular education environments.

Our graduates have continued on to lead in various educational environments and organizations ranging from the classroom to educational non-profits. Some students in this program can qualify to begin working towards their Master’s in Middle/Secondary Education (w/ Initial Licensure) from the University of Massachusetts-Boston through our Accelerated Master’s Program, saving them time and money while granting them even greater opportunities.
