Teacher Education

Since 1917, the School of Education has been offering K-12 programs that prepare elementary and secondary educators. Our teachers are creative, reflective educators dedicated to the success of all learners. The school offers a full range of K-12 licensure programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels. These standards-based programs are rooted in the liberal arts and emphasize ethical practice, scholarship and strong relationships with schools and teachers. All teaching licensure programs meet the most recent licensure requirements established by the state of Minnesota. The programs are accredited by the Minnesota Board of Teaching.
