The Westminster College Teacher Education Program is administered by the Department of Education. The program is designed to promote the life-long learning dispositions the teaching profession demands, as well to provide the depth and breadth of academic and practical knowledge needed for successful beginning teaching. The faculty draws on research and extensive experience to make course work meaningful and strives to demonstrate attitudes and practice which serve as examples for students' future classrooms.
 
Students receive personal attention within a learning community that encourages them to develop critical thinking, creative sensibility, and communication arts to share ideas and to understand others as they teach and learn in a global, technological society.

Those who wish to teach will earn a Bachelor of Arts with majors offered in elementary education (grades 1-6), Early childhood (birth-Grade 3) add-on endorsement to elementary, middle school grades (grades 5-9), and secondary grades (grades 9-12). Secondary content emphasis areas are: mathematics, social sciences, science, English language arts, business and physical education. A  physical education endorsement for grades K-12 is also available.  Middle school majors must have two areas of content concentration selected from English, science, social sciences, and mathematics. Each concentration area consists of at least 21 hours. Elementary majors must have at least one area of concentration of 21 hours chosen from mathematics, social studies, science or English.
