School of Education Undergraduate Programs

Why Study Education?

"In my classes I try to create a place where you'll have the opportunity to grow and develop into a competent and child-centered teacher," says Heidi Van Ert, Education Associate Professor.

"We emphasize competency development, topical expertise, problem solving, methodology, and techniques that help you meet the needs of learners."

Why Choose Westminster?

Our curriculum takes a practical, multifaceted, student-centered approach to preparing teachers. A major focus of our program is providing diverse field experiences. Students are placed in different school settings, and our faculty provide constructive feedback along the way. Faculty members are approachable and always willing to help students achieve individual academic and career goals. In conjunction with field experiences, we offer a partnership program that establishes personal and professional relationships with in-service teachers who serve as mentors during field experiences; and a highly successful job placement program for graduating students.
