Education

The Lourdes University Department of Education is respected throughout the region for excellence in preparing caring, competent, and qualified educators!  The curriculum and experiences of the teacher education program are designed to provide teacher candidates with the education and opportunities needed to be successful teachers.

The faculty and staff of the Department of Education have extensive and diverse teaching experiences and knowledge that is shared with our teacher candidates. Such valuable experiences provide our teacher candidates with examples and knowledge of real life education experiences and, as such, greatly enrich the learning process.  A hallmark of Lourdes University is the small class size and personal attention given to students. Class sizes are small; our largest classroom seats 40 students. The Department of Education student/faculty ratio is 10:1; Advising of education majors is done by full-time faculty who are also their instructors; field supervision is conducted by faculty/instructors.
