Marymount alumni teach in public, private, Catholic, and independent schools.<\/p>\n<p>In order to become a teacher, the Commonwealth of Virginia expects you to become an expert in the subject matter you will be teaching. So, you need to choose a major for the discipline or population you\u2019d like to teach, then supplement that coursework with classes to earn teaching licensure.<\/p>\n<p>Marymount\u2019s teacher preparation programs are accredited by the<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Virginia Department of Education: Division of Teacher Education and Certification<\/strong>\u00a0of the Virginia Department of Education and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are a first year or transfer student, or are about to complete your undergraduate degree, a passion for working with young people may lead you to consider teaching as a career. Please know we can help you pursue that goal through our teacher preparation programs that include Virginia licensure. We offer four-year undergraduate degree programs in elementary education and special education.<\/p>\n<p>As a student in any of the our programs, you will complete a prescribed program of studies that both fulfills the requirements of the major and leads to teaching licensure or complete a minor in Education without a teaching licensure through the following links:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/education\/undergraduate\/elementary-education\/\">Program Requirements for Elementary Education<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/college-of-health-and-education\/school-of-education\/undergraduate-programs\/special-education\/\">Program Requirements for Special Education<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/college-of-health-and-education\/school-of-education\/undergraduate-programs\/overview\/minor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minor in Education<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/collegesofdistinction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-2024-CoD.svg\" alt=\"2023-2024 Colleges of Distinction badge\" width=\"249\" height=\"249\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you&#8217;d like to be a teacher?
