Undergraduate Programs

  • Liberal Studies -  an ideal major for aspiring teachers wanting to teach at the elementary grade levels.
  • Special Education - any undergraduates who have a genuine love for ALL children and sense a calling to teach are invited to seek more information about becoming a part of this exciting and growing field of education.
  • Aspiring Teachers - offers teacher preparation courses for undergraduates interested in teaching after earning their B.A. in a major other than Liberal Studies.

Welcome to Point Loma Nazarene University's School of Education. We consistently develop highly qualified, high-performing educators of noble character in the context of a vital Christian Learning Community.

Call for NCATE Third-Party Comment

The School of Education at Point Loma Nazarene University is scheduled for an accreditation review by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) in February of 2012. Federal regulations require that accrediting agencies allow for public comment on the qualifications of institutions or programs under consideration for first accreditation or continuing accreditation.
Both NCATE and PLNU recognize graduates, parents, schools, and community organizations have valuable perspectives on the quality of the programs that prepare teachers and other school personnel. We invite interested parties to submit written comment on the PLNU School of Education to:

Board of Examiners
NCATE
2010 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Suite 500
Washington, DC 20036-1023
Or e-mail: callforcomments@ncate.org

Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of PLNU's professional education programs, and should specify the party's relationship to the institution (i.e., graduate, present/former faculty member, employer of graduates). Copies of all correspondence received by NCATE no later than November 1st will be submitted to the School of Education prior to the February 2012 review. Anonymous comments will not be accepted.
