Paul L. Thompson, Ed.D., NCSP Chair
The Teacher Education Program involves what is frequently called a “2 + 2” program. During your first two years, you will focus on your General Education courses while also taking three introductory courses with the education faculty. These three courses will give you exposure to classroom situations by going to schools which will help you in the decision-making process to become a future teacher. Your faculty advisor will work closely with you to help make sure you are satisfying all course requirements. There are specific state and university requirements for all future pre-service teachers relating to grade point averages and other requirements that will be shared with you. In preparing to become a future elementary education teacher, we encourage you to continue seeking God’s will for this special ministry.
The final two years of the 2 + 2 program involve classes and experiences that will train you to become a future educator.
Mid-Continent University has provisional accreditation for its initial level educator preparation program from the Kentucky Department of Education to offer its Teacher Education program to train public and private school teachers.
