School of Education

Message From the Dean

Welcome to the website for the School of Education at Piedmont College. On behalf of the faculty I would like to encourage you to browse our web page and learn about the different programs we offer leading to certification or advanced degrees.

The School of Education offers a variety of programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels that lead to initial certification in many fields.  For those already holding a clear-renewable teaching certificate, programs are offered at both the master's and education specialist's level.  There is a growing recognition of the importance of the role of the classroom community in developing respect for human dignity as well as preparing students to be active participants in their own learning and in democratic communities. The School of Education’s mission is focused on:

Mastering the Art of Teaching: Preparing Proactive Educators to Improve the Lives of All Children.

Supporting this mission, we strive to prepare reflective, scholarly, proactive educators. These practitioners effectively educate their own students to become knowledgeable, inquisitive, and collaborative learners in diverse, democratic learning communities.

We hope that you will consider the profession of teaching and join us at Piedmont College. Should you have any questions about our programs, feel free to contact us.
