Founded on the Gospel belief in teaching and the inherent dignity of each person, the program is broadly designed to combine liberal arts and professional education courses for teacher licensure.
Students are prepared to teach in parochial, private and public school settings.
In addition to course work, all students participate in education seminars offering unique opportunities for discussion, debate and professional formation. Aquinas College recently received approval for a post-baccalaureate program for elementary licensure from Tennessee's Department of Education. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree, have a cumulative GPA of 2.6 before induction into the program, and they must be interviewed by the Director of Education. The post-baccalaureate program includes one semester of enhanced student training.
