About the Department
The Department of Education offers programs to prepare highly qualified educators for careers in private and public schools. Undergraduate and post-baccalaureate teacher education programs offered lead to certification by Maryland State Department of Education and the North American Division of
Seventh-day Adventists (NAD) in early childhood education, elementary education, two secondary programs in subject areas of English and mathematics; and speciality areas (PreK-12) in music and physical education. Additionally, all baccalaureate programs leading toward careers in secondary education are approved by the NAD.

The Teacher Education program combines a liberal arts education with professional skills to prepare its graduates for a challenging and rewarding career in education.  The conceptual framework fot this program emphasizes Christian perspectives in: Reflective thinking, foundation knowledge, professional pedagogical,  and interpersonal skills.

Professional Development Schools
The Department of Education at Columbia Union College is engaged in a Professional Development School (PDS) partnership with five schools in Montgomery County Public Schools and the Columbia Union Schools of Seventh-day Adventists.  The objective is to immerse candidates in the culture of school life and experience the process of impacting student achievement. Candidates begin this experience in the freshman year and it
culminates with the teaching internship in their senior year.
