Teacher education programs have been around for a long time, since education is one of the most essential building blocks of society. Something else that's been around a long time is the tradition of private colleges and universities. Private institutions have been educating Americans since 1636 when Harvard--the nation's first private institution--was founded. Today there are 1,600 private colleges and universities to choose from, including everything from small schools with under 100 students to large universities with over 30,000. And if tuition is a concern for you, keep in mind that almost 90% of students attending private college or university receive some sort of financial assistance.
Teacher education programs are designed to address the needs of many different learners: elementary and secondary students, students with special needs, gifted and talented students and even young children who are the focus of early childhood education. As well, there are many different kinds of private colleges and universities you can choose to pursue your teacher education: liberal arts colleges, major research institutions, church- and faith-affiliated institutions, historically black colleges and universities, women's colleges, and two-year colleges. So if you're looking for a teacher education program at a world-class institution that will prepare you to educate future generations, research your options at the private colleges and universities in the US today!
