Overview
Who We Are, What We Do
The mission of the Morehouse Education Department is to prepare students for a wide range of careers and advanced study in education and related fields. As a historically all black university, our vision is to close the representation gap for Black men in classrooms, schools, districts, and educational leadership roles.
Morehouse College offers students a variety of options to gain a deep understanding of the theories, practices, and policies that will permit them to make meaningful impact in the education field.
The Education Department is led by accomplished faculty who are also experienced scholar-practitioners. Our faculty are well-equipped to support aspiring educators as they develop the competencies required to teach, lead or serve in culturally responsive learning environments.
Students who are Education majors and minors will participate in immersive field experiences that are integrated into their program’s course work. These field experiences encourage students to apply what they have learned in real-world contexts. Morehouse students who pursue the study of Education have several options:
- Bachelor of Arts in Education Studies: This degree program prepares students for a wide range of advanced study and/or careers in, or adjacent to the education sector, including but not limited to law, education technology, public policy, counseling and social services, and many others.
- Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education (in partnership with Spelman College): Students interested in teaching at the elementary level (grades PK-5) are equipped with the specialized knowledge and instructional skills required to support the youngest learners. Early Childhood majors will simultaneously complete requirements for the major and certification to teach in Georgia.
- Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education (Double Major): Students interested in obtaining Georgia certification to teach at the secondary level (grades 6-12) complete a Major in the content area in which they will teach while also completing a Major in Secondary Education. Students will hone their skills through coursework and field experiences required for a Georgia Educator’s License to teach grades 6-12 in their Major content area.
