Guilford College develops educators who are grounded in the liberal arts and are self-confident, inquisitive and thoughtful in their practice. Guilford's education program emphasizes practical field experiences that incorporate deep knowledge of educational theories and foundations as well as critical, personal and professional reflection. Study of philosophy, psychology and the history of education, as well as an intensive cross-cultural internship and extensive teaching internships in classrooms and other educational environments prior to student teaching, create a solid foundation for becoming a 21st-century teacher.
