Go to the head of the class and make a difference.

As a teacher, every day you walk into a classroom you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference. Judson University can give you the skills you need to make the most of those opportunities.

You’ll find Judson teacher education graduates in almost every school in the Northern Fox River Valley and in many schools across the country. Our curriculum’s emphasis on extensive field experience and commitment to Christian ethics keeps our graduates in high demand.

Unlike many teacher education programs, Judson gives you the chance to begin student teaching your freshman year, so you can decide early on if teaching is right for you. By the time you graduate, you’ll have a ton of experience in diverse public and private classroom settings.

Judson's teacher education program has a strong identity and aims to produce teachers who will enter the classroom with a clear purpose. The curriculum is guided by a set of professional standards within a faculty-designed framework called Partners Pathfinding for Professional Excellence.

Judson offers a Certificate Only program and accelerated Master of Education and Master of Education in Literacy programs.
