Teacher Education
Teaching can take you anywhere.
The University of North Dakota has offered teacher education programs since its founding in 1883.
Teacher Education at the University of North Dakota is supported by a Teacher Education Unit which includes faculty from two different colleges (Arts & Sciences and Education & Human Development) and from sixteen different departments.
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; who are able to take an active role in promoting the learning of students; and who can envision alternative solutions to the challenges posed in schools.
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.
