The Education Department aims a) to explore the social, psychological, philosophical, and historical foundations of education in our society, b) to stimulate inquiry concerning the nature of our educational institutions, and c) to provide the professional preparation for certification required by the State Department of Education in Maryland and the 45 states with which Maryland has reciprocal certification agreements.
| Within the Human Development major, our students examine human development in the context of theory and practice in education. | As part of our teacher certification programs in elementary and secondary education, we give you the tools and strategies you’ll need to succeed at the head of the classroom. |
