We believe education changes people. It opens doors. Emmanuel will prepare, fulfill and enrich you as you learn how to open those doors for others.

Education

The education department prepares students who desire to become elementary and secondary teachers. Students begin by building knowledge of the history and philosophical foundations of education in America. They are trained in current theory and research-based practice in the design, delivery and management of curriculum and instruction. The program also provides opportunities for field-based experiences in urban school settings.

The education program complies with licensure requirements established by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Students seeking elementary teacher licensure must complete a major in liberal studies as well as a major in education. Students seeking secondary teacher licensure must complete a subject area major in addition to a major in education. Specific subject matter requirements for the Initial License may be obtained from Academic Advising. Students seeking Initial Licensure in Massachusetts must pass the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL).
