The Education Department is located on the third floor of the Priscilla

exclusively by the education department. It is equipped with the latest in educational

student access to additional resource materials, video equipment, digital cameras, a
Macintosh microcomputer lab for software preview, and duplicating and laminating equipment.
Students also have access to equipment in the Collier Hall of Science, the music center,
the language laboratory, the Writing Center, the Monocacy Hall academic computing laboratory,
and the campus network. A curriculum library and children’s book collection are maintained
in Reeves Library.
Students are encouraged to explore international opportunities that complement
their degree program at Moravian College. The College sponsors a number of study-abroad
programs for the summer or semester periods. Students interested in overseas opportunities
are encouraged to discuss options with their academic advisor early in their degree program
and consult with the International Studies Office on program availability. Certified
teachers may continue their education at Moravian College by enrolling in the master’s
program. Field placement is available in area public and private schools and community
institutions. Students may be eligible for election to the national education honor society,
Kappa Delta Pi.
All full-time faculty in the Education Department have had extensive
experience in elementary or secondary schools. The department is fortunate to have
experienced educators in other academic departments who support the teacher education
program by teaching content and methods courses and by assisting with student teaching
supervision.
