Master of Education in English
The Master of Education degree in English is designed to prepare teachers, department chairmen, and supervisors for a dynamic ministry in the Christian school. Certification or public school preparation is not a goal for this program. With this degree we are trying to produce thinking teachers. We want teachers to be able to prepare fresh, original lessons and not be bound to structured teacher's manuals. Your training in this program will equip you to evaluate academic curricula as well as to formulate a strong Christian philosophy of education.

Career Opportunities
You could have as many as three good teaching opportunities to choose from as you look for a place to teach. We receive over three times as many requests for teachers as we have teachers to fill those requests. And, in the future, this ratio is going to increase as we, as a nation, face a national teacher shortage. You will be qualified to help meet this need and train young people both in the states and abroad.
