Teacher Education

Teaching can take you anywhere.

Teacher Education has been part of the University of North Dakota since the university’s founding in 1883.

UND’s Teacher Education programs are currently supported by faculty across 16 departments within two colleges: the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Education & Human Development.

The goals of the basic teacher education programs at the University of North Dakota are to enable the development of teachers who:

• Are committed to the continuing process of learning with an emphasis on learning to teach
• Can take an active role in promoting the learning of students; and
• Can envision alternative solutions to challenges posed in the school environment.

Our programs are fully approved by the North Dakota Education Standards and Practices Board and accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP, formerly NCATE) since 1954.
