The Mission of the School of Education

Though the investment is demanding, we believe there are few higher or more rewarding callings than that of teacher. Our professors equip students to serve in any educational setting while strengthening their faith as the firm foundation for their careers.

Students of the Teacher Education program will be equipped to give children and youth the learning tools to make positive life choices. You will be equally prepared to serve in the areas of academic teaching, missions, literature, and church education.

Our programs of study help students develop into competent Christian educators, especially for Christian schools but also for licensure in Tennessee to teach in public or private schools. Each program emphasizes quality academic and pedagogical preparation and practice that will prepare students for entry into graduate school.
