The Council of Higher Education in Virginia authorized the education program on May 9, 1995 to enroll students in Master's-level course work. Formal enrollment in EMU's Master of Arts in Education program began January 1996.

Program course requirements for each teacher education program can be found in the Eastern Mennonite University Undergraduate Catalog. EMU students enrolled in each teacher education program are in regular contact with K-12 students through placements in the schools, beginning in the first year. Travel expenses incurred for field experiences, including student teaching, are the responsibility of the preservice teacher. Practicum honoraria incurred for field experiences and other supplemental course materials are billed by the EMU business office. A complete list of course fees is found in Appendix F. All fees are set by COTE.

*This program is no longer accepting new students; current students will be able to complete their program.
