Education Department Pathways

At Central Piedmont’s Department of Education, we prepare future and current educators for meaningful careers in the classroom and beyond. Whether you want to work with young children from birth to age five, teach in elementary, middle, or high school—including subjects like music, art, or physical education—or you're already teaching and need to complete your residency licensure requirements, we have a program for you. Our degrees and certificates are designed to give you the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience you need to make a lasting impact in the lives of students

We offer three teacher pathways
