Since 1876 Juniata College has prepared individuals for careers in teaching, early childhood education, and human development. Currently, the Education Department offers teacher certification programs in the following areas: Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Unified Special Education and Early Childhood Education, Unified Special Education and Elementary Education, Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Space Science, Environmental Education, General Science, Mathematics, Physics, English, French, German, Spanish, and Social Studies. In addition, the Education Department works closely with the Office of International Education to promote study abroad. Junior and seniors in good standing who are interested in English as a Second Language may take special classes in the spring and complete a summer session in Ecuador to meet the requirements for the ESL Program Specialist License. All certification programs are approved by the PA Department of Education.
Although the Education Department’s primary focus is on teacher preparation, department members also provide guidance and serve as advisors for individuals who create their own Programs of Emphasis. Other students combine studies in education with programs in social work, health professions, psychology, and child life.
Students who seek teacher certification must meet all of the certification requirements mandated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and Juniata College's Education Department. All certification requirements for admission to, retention in, and completion of a certification program are outlined in the Education Department Student Handbook.
