Students can meet the requirements for a liberal arts degree and teacher licensure with careful planning initiated early in their college careers. Guidance is provided by advisors in the student's major field and by advisors in the Education Department. The faculty is committed to providing every student the opportunity to become a licensed professional. The teacher education program is approved by the Virginia Department of Education, and licensure is recognized by interstate agreement with 38 other states. Students who complete the teacher education program at Sweet Briar go on to successful careers in both public and private schools.
Preparation includes many opportunities for hands-on experience at all levels.
The Campus School is an invaluable opportunity to work with licensed professionals in a school setting with children from diverse backgrounds. Field experiences are also available by arrangement with local public school divisions. This page maintained by Sweet Briar College Public Relations.
