The mission of the Teacher Education Program at Rochester University is to prepare teachers with Christian values who can effectively serve in the diverse and challenging schools and global communities of the twenty-first century.

Graduates of the program are teachers of understanding because they have gained a rich liberal arts education, acquired specialized knowledge in academic content areas, and completed a professional studies program. They are teachers with integrity because they have developed Christian values and high ethical standards. Lastly, they have hearts to serve because they have developed the attitudes and dispositions necessary to act as change agents in the diverse and challenging schools and communities of the twenty-first century.
