Changing the world starts in the classroom.
Teaching is more than a job—it's a calling. Teachers have the opportunity to influence our future leaders, helpers, and world-changers. If you're wanting to make an impact through a meaningful career in teaching, JBU can help you get there.
JBU's Master of Arts in Teaching program provides the skills and classroom experience you need to obtain an Arkansas teaching license for secondary education (grades 7-12). This is an excellent option if you didn't major in education as an undergraduate student, but have at least 18 credit hours in a specific content area.

"I chose JBU because I saw that the professors and educators cared about their students, thus showing us as future educators how we should treat our students. You can tell that they truly care about what they are teaching and do it to their fullest potential...Getting this degree will not only impact me personally, but it will also impact my future career. I hope to be able to inspire the students that I teach and help them see that if we persevere, we can be successful."-
