The purpose of the Education Program at Centre College is to provide study for undergraduate students in the methods and theories of effective teaching and to give the students practical experiences in classroom settings. We believe that the undergraduate college experience offers an excellent opportunity for prospective teachers to integrate pedagogical studies and experience with a rigorous education in the liberal arts and sciences. Our mission is for our students to develop a greater understanding of and appreciation for the complexities of teaching and learning and, as alumni, to lead lives of learning, leadership, and service as effective elementary and secondary classroom teachers.
Centre offers teacher certification in elementary education (K-5); secondary education (8-12) in biology, chemistry, English, mathematics, physics, and social studies; and certification at all grade levels (K-12) in art, French, German, and Spanish.
