The School of Education at McMurry University focuses on innovative teaching, technology, and the importance of lifelong learning.

The use of technology is incorporated into online classes and in class multimedia presentations.

As an education major, you may choose from a wide variety of certification areas. Early Childhood Education is a popular major, but there are also opportunities for students who would like to be certified in grades 4-8 or 8-12. Our partnerships with local public schools allow you to learn a wide variety of teaching strategies and classroom management techniques. We also have special programs such as Abilene’s Adopt-a-School partnership and the America Reads program that provide additional opportunities for classroom interaction.
