The Teacher Education Consortium Program



The Teacher Education Consortium Program prepares Christian educators to teach in Christian and public schools in the U.S. and internationally and for service in the church. This program is a joint arrangement with three nearby colleges/universities. Students may choose the resident four year consortium with Greenville College (A.A. in Education from LCU, B.S. in Elementary Education from Greenville) or the five year programs which result in bachelor's degrees from both institutions. The three years of courses at Lincoln Christian focus primarily upon Bible, theology, and general education; while the approximately two years of courses at the consortium school focus on professional education.
