Key facts

The department gives you practical, cutting-edge professional learning. It is:

Field-based: You will work with children in schools throughout the program (not just at the end, or for one or two semesters).
Technology-rich: You will experience a wide range of technology-based learning activities in your courses, and you’ll learn to effectively and creatively use technology as an educator – not just in one technology course, but throughout each program.
Personal: You will develop lasting relationships with your professors in our small classes. Professors become professional mentors – not just while you are at HCU, but throughout your educational careers.
Focused on Best Practice: Because our faculty practice what they teach (evidence-based practice), students learn to teach well from how they are taught as well as what they are taught.
Respected: Our close ties with area schools and our reputation for excellence provides hiring advantages when you graduate and apply for jobs.
