Become the kind of teacher who makes a lasting impact on your students. Our training includes both a biblical foundation and preparation for Texas certification for early childhood through 6th grade.
Criswell offers small classes which provide you with the type of personalized learning experience that will prepare you to walk into your own classroom one day as a confident, competent professional. Because of our location in Dallas, you will have plenty of opportunities to grow your skills in the classroom and your heart for service in the community.
You will enter the Education program portion of your studies at year three (after 60 credit hours are completed) and you will need a cumulative GPA of 2.75 for your work. You will also successfully complete an admission interview with the Criswell College Education Committee.
