In the parable of the talents, Jesus describes a "steward" as one who has responsibility for someone else's assets.  As a teacher, you'll have responsibility for a very precious resource-your students. At Huntington, we'll help you become an effective steward of priceless young minds and hearts. 

If you desire to become an effective elementary, middle school, high school, or special-needs teacher, Huntington University has a program for you. Our curriculum features a comprehensive series of courses, field experiences, and of course, student teaching during the senior year.

But student teaching will not be your first experience in the classroom.  At Huntington, you will gain hands-on, practical experiences on a regular basis.  Students in both the elementary and secondary programs complete a three-week, full-day practicum in a multicultural school in Fort Wayne. Our elementary education program also includes an eight-week field experience during the junior year. At Huntington, you will gain wide exposure to different grade levels and styles of teaching and learning.

Elementary education majors take an integrated curriculum course during the senior year which teaches strategies for integrating computers and thematic units into the general curriculum.

Middle school programs are available in math, science, language arts, and social studies.

Secondary education programs are available in art, business, communication (journalism, broadcasting, speech, theatre), English, mathematics, music, physical education, science (biology, chemistry, physics), and social studies (US history, world civilization, economics, psychology, sociology).

Huntington's special education program will prepare you to provide mild intervention in grades K-6.

Huntington students have a very high rate of passage on state competency tests. Our NCATE-accredited program is specifically designed for students who wish to obtain an Indiana teaching license. Reciprocity agreements with other states help our graduates find employment all across the country. (Ask our faculty about your specific professional goals.)
