Why Educational Studies?

While teaching is scripturally identified as a gift from God (Romans 12:6-7; Ephesians 4:11-12), there are many opportunities to exercise this gift beyond teacher certification. The Educational Studies program offers the same high level of pedagogical instruction and training as the certification pathway, fully preparing graduates for their calling and career in various non-certification roles.

Note: This program does not lead to teacher certification, does not require admission to any teacher certification program, and requires a GPA of 2.0 for graduation.
