MISSION STATEMENT: The Education Division at Missouri Baptist University seeks: to develop and train professional educators of excellence from a Christian perspective; to enhance the life of students in the classroom intellectually, spiritually, physically, and socially; and to significantly influence students through the demonstrated integration of Christian faith and learning in the classroom so that they may become positive change agents throughout the broader community.
Welcome to the Education Division of Missouri Baptist University. The faculty and staff of the Education Division hope you will find the field-based program to be both challenging and rewarding, and invite you to make any suggestions you feel would help enhance the education program.
The Education Division recognizes the importance of diversity in education and attempts to provide students with a sound experimental base through coursework and field experiences. Special needs of students from diverse backgrounds are addressed throughout several courses required for certification. These courses serve to heighten the awareness of American youth's, culture, lifestyles, and learning patterns so that teachers can enable youth to be more successful in school. Once again, we welcome you into the Missouri Baptist University Education family. We look forward to helping you meet your professional goals.
