Engaging, equipping, and empowering educators to become world changers. 

At the School of Education, we know that educators change lives. We will equip and empower you with the skills and experience to serve students with excellence. One life, one classroom, one school at a time, you can change the world.  

A vocational calling to education typically begins with classroom experience but may take other paths such as school leadership, curriculum development, instructional support, or conducting research. Christian teachers may serve here in Texas public schools, in private schools with unique missions and structures, or in the many varied school settings around the world. Our experienced faculty is here to guide and provide you with the tools and experiences to make an impact on the community.  

The learning in the School of Education is not confined to the classroom. Skills developed through coursework lead directly to outside learning opportunities and fieldwork requirements. You will be equipped and confident as you step into school settings.
