Education (EDUC)

(See “Students Preparing for Teaching ”)

The Teacher Education program offers students the opportunity to work toward a teaching credential (specifically a Virginia teaching license) in elementary, middle, or secondary education. Licensure can be earned in the following endorsement areas:

The requirements for each endorsement area are listed on the teacher education website. EDUC 200 - Foundations of Education  is open to all students. Upper-level education courses are also open to all students who wish to teach in public or private schools or who have an interest in education but do not wish to earn licensure. However, students must apply to the teacher education program before registering for upper-level education courses. The application can be found at teachereducation.wlu.edu.
