We believe in the lasting impact of an educator.

At Muhlenberg, we’re committed to preparing talented and diverse undergraduates with the skills, empathy and adaptability to succeed in the modern classroom and empower new generations. We know you have the power to better the world.

Muhlenberg’s core beliefs in education — that every child deserves a quality education, that teaching is about more than test scores and that teachers are a vital part of students’ lives and futures — will shape a joyful approach to teaching. 

With an individualized learning plan for each Muhlenberg student, faculty in our Education Program work to ensure you’re pursuing your passions, challenging yourself and making time for your own personal growth. Education students choose to obtain a teaching certification for elementary (grades PK-4) or secondary (grades 7-12) education. As the education programs at Muhlenberg are situated in the context of a liberal arts education, students in certification programs also pursue a major to deepen their knowledge.

Students aspiring to earn a graduate degree can pursue Muhlenberg’s unique Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) 4+1 program, which allows you to complete both a bachelor’s and a master’s in only five years. Whether you opt for a bachelor’s degree or the MAT, you’ll graduate prepared for a successful and rewarding career in education.
