Question

What are some good colleges with teaching programs?

Answer 1

East Carolina University in Greenville North Carolina is a great teaching college.  

It used to be called East Carolina Teacher College many, many, many years ago.

This is a great school and a great area of the country.  Not to far from the mountains and skiing and pretty close to the coast!!

Answer 2

I think most universities with a program in teaching do a good job these days because of national standards. However, my biased opinion is that Appalachian State University in North Carolina is wonderful. I got my MA from there. My other teaching degree was from UNC, which is also very wonderful. NC has a ton of great colleges and universities if you are in that area.  

Answer 3

UGA   GOOOOOOOO DAWGS....SIC UM....

University of GA has an excellent teaching program. Not to mention the best college town ever. Athens is great!

Answer 4

I doesn't matter, I swear.  I have been on multiple hiring committees I can't remember where a single one of them went to college.  I would say go to a college where you can get a quality education in your Primary degree.  For the love of god do not major in education.

Answer 5

Almost all state Universities have a teaching program - check the website of the nearest University to where you live.

Answer 6

UNH (University of New Hampshire) has a good program.  Let's say you want to be a history teacher.  You can major in History and minor in Education.  You will get a BA in four years.  Then you enter their Master's program and you take 5 classes (which if you do early decision you can take your senior year of undergrad and get dual credits) and do a year long internship, teaching at a local high school.  At the end of this (it takes a year and one summer usually, although some do it just in a year and some need two summers ((the summer before and the summer after the internship))) Then you have a Master's in Education and you will get paid more for the one extra year and you are done with a Masters so for the first few years of teaching you can actually focus on the teaching.
