Mount Marty College prepares students to become teachers who realize the impact they can have on the world. Our small classes afford a better understanding of our students' potential as teachers. Because so much of a teacher's success is based on the teacher's basic personality, we believe that by knowing our students, we can better help them grow in character and teaching ability.

The teacher education program prepares students to be certified as elementary, middle school, secondary, and/or special education teachers. The teacher education program is in line with the mission of Mount Marty College, offering a liberal arts education that prepares students for a contemporary world of work, service to the human community, and personal growth.

At Mount Marty College, we believe it is important to combine theory and practice to ensure confident and competent teachers. MMC students have the opportunity to work in area schools from their freshman orientation class, to field experience, practicum and into student teaching. This unique curriculum facilitates graduates to become proficient, quality teachers.

Mount Marty College offers a full semester of student teaching. This length of experience helps our graduates confidently pursue a job and competently fill their positions. Given the small size of classes, professors teach all classes, know their students, and commit to helping their students to grow personally and professionally.
