Education majors contribute to the transformation of society by helping others become life long learners who respond compassionately to the world around them. Teaching isn’t just a career; it’s a sacred calling.
As a teacher, you help children and young people find meaning and purpose in their lives in a loving and respectful learning community. You hold a unique position to help develop your students’ abilities and dispositions. At TWU, we help you to develop the skills you need to nurture your students’ academic, social, and emotional growth.
OUR SCHOOL OF EDUCATION OFFERS:
- Elementary, middle, or secondary school programs

- A two-year post-degree BEd program**
- A special education minor (as a teachable subject area)
