BA in Education

at Anna Maria College

The teacher preparation programs at Anna Maria College aim to develop the student as a deeply committed, knowledgeable, and reflective practitioner. The programs are built on the idea that K–12 students are unique individuals, who are joined together as different members of a learning community. As learning community members, there is a responsibility to respect, support, and learn from each other. Both the individual and social dimensions of learning are stressed. Education programs are offered in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, and Music Education.  The Education program also provides  preparation for the Early Education and Care (EEC) certification for work with children from birth to 8 years of age as well as direct entry into a 5th year Master’s program. The college remains committed to providing scholarship and grant resources to keep the overall cost of teaching licensure affordable for students seeking to work as teachers in the education community.
