The Education Department at Tennessee Wesleyan
is dedicated to preparing you to become a
competent and reflective educator whose
knowledge, skills, dispositions and values will
enable you to create academic programs that meet
the needs of your students and their
communities. The Teacher Education Program
provides a series of courses and hands-on
experiences that culminate in a full semester of
student teaching. The entire program is a
cooperative effort that combines high-quality
instruction on campus with the active resources
of local school systems.
Psychology is concerned with all aspects of
behavior from brain functioning to social
interaction. The Psychology major is centered
around a variety of these topics and involves
appropriate course work and laboratory
experiences, including independent study. The
major is designed for students considering
advanced training in psychology and related
human sciences as well as for those planning to
enter psychology-based occupations immediately
upon graduation.
