Teaching Certification Programs

The Park University Education Program is approved by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Upon completion of the undergrad program, passing the appropriate PRAXIS test, recommendation by Park University, and application by the student, a Missouri Teaching Certificate is issued by the state of Missouri. If students wish to seek job opportunities and become certified in any state other than Missouri, students are responsible for their course of study to reflect that state's requirements. Teaching Certification requires passing an FBI background check, which includes fingerprinting.

Park, a four-year, private, nonprofit, liberal arts institution has helped students break barriers to education since 1875. Our motto, fides et labour (Latin for “faith and work”) is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. A Park University education is an opportunity to find faith in yourself — by discovering your potential and working to realize it.

Park University’s core values are academic excellence, inclusivity and social responsibility. Diversity is in our DNA — Park’s first graduating class included four women. Today, we welcome more than 260 international students from 60 countries.
