Not just classroom experience.
Classroom experience with meaningful mentorship.
University of Findlay education students not only benefit from classroom experience outside campus beginning in their first year, they are also paired with a UF education faculty member who mentors them throughout their classroom experiences. This faculty mentor is licensed and experienced in the student's area of study and even makes site visits to check-in with their student at the school. Our faculty is made up of experienced teachers, educational administrators and human resource developers.
This one-on-one faculty mentoring is unique to UF's education program.
Don't just take our word for it.
