The Millsaps Department of Education offers a major to equip future elementary education practitioners (K?6) as well as a minor for future secondary teachers (7-12) who desire to acquire deep content area expertise through majoring in their discipline (e.g. history, English, etc.) Successful completion of either a major or minor in education results in teacher licensure and thus opens the door to immediate employment after graduation. Numerous supplemental licensure areas are also available, including licensure in special education.

The streamlined and field-based program maximizes your time and potential. Whether in the classroom or a research setting, students will work closely with faculty mentors to develop the skills necessary to advance as an educational leader.
