Teacher Education Program

Dr. Joseph Rogan teaches a class

Since its inception in 1924, Misericordia University has prepared thousands of excellent teachers for our nation's classrooms. Currently, the Division of Behavioral Science, Education, and Business and its Teacher Education Department (TED) sponsor undergraduate majors in Elementary Education, Special Education, and in five areas of Secondary Education - Biology, Chemistry, Citizenship (formerly Social Studies), English, and Mathematics. In combination with its Elementary Education major, the TED also sponsors a certification program in Early Childhood Education. The faculty has developed an integrated program that combines Elementary and Special Education. At the graduate level, the Teacher Education Department sponsors programs in Elementary Education, Educational Technology Specialist, and Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction.

All of the University's teacher education programs have been reviewed and approved by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The programs qualify students for Instructional, Specialist, or Supervisory certifications awarded by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Additionally, the programs offered by the Teacher Education Department have earned "candidate status" awarded by the prestigious Teacher Education Accreditation Council, a national accrediting agency affiliated with the Commission on Higher Education of the United States Department of Education.
