The core
mission of the School of Education and Human
Services is to enable students to serve as agents
of positive change for individuals and in the
global community.
The School offers baccalaureate degree programs
in three major disciplines: Criminal Justice,
Psychology, and Sociology. The School also offers
teaching licensure programs for degree-seeking
undergraduate students in Early Childhood Education
(PK-3), Secondary Education (6-12), and Art
Education (K-12). Each program is designed to
prepare graduates to enter the job market as
beginning professionals in their respective
disciplines. For those considering study beyond
the undergraduate level, the School also offers
masters degrees in Education, Counseling,
and Psychology.
EDUCATION
The mission of the Department of Education is
to provide effective and affective educational
leaders for global learning communities.
Our students, both undergraduate and graduate,
are prepared to be:
- critical
thinkers with knowledge of their field who
recognize and accommodate the uniqueness of
each child in a diverse student population;
- effective
practitioners who can manage learning that
includes specific content knowledge; and
- caring
professionals who have consideration for the
whole child and the whole school environment.
They are prepared to act as resources for
the children, the families, and other professionals
in their school and communities.
All Marymount
University teacher education programs are approved
by the National Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Virginia State
Department of Education. Program requirements
are subject to revision based on changes in
the Commonwealth of Virginia licensure requirements.
More than 30 other states share reciprocity
with Virginia.
Seeking
Licensure
Degree-seeking undergraduate students who wish
to earn Virginia licensure at the PK-3 level
follow a prescribed program of studies, which
fulfills the requirements of their major discipline
and leads to an endorsement in Early Childhood
Education.
Degree-seeking undergraduate students who wish
to earn Virginia licensure at the secondary
level in the following content areasBiology,
Computer Science, English, History and Social
Science, and Mathematicsfollow a prescribed
program of studies which both fulfills the requirements
of their major discipline and leads to secondary
teaching licensure.
The program in Art Education leads to K-12 licensure.
The program of studies for each content area
is described in the major discipline section
of this catalog.
Teacher
Licensure Pass Rates
In October 1998, the U.S. Congress enacted amendments
to the Higher Education Act (HEA). As amended,
Title II of the HEA addressed the issue of the
quality of teacher preparation by including
new accountability measures including reporting
requirements for institutions and states on
teacher preparation and licensing. As required
by the Act, the results of those who completed
the Marymount University Education program during
the 2001-2002 academic year (graduated in December
2001, spring 2002, and summer 2002) are listed
on page 174.
Guidelines
for Admission to Teacher Licensure Programs

their major advisor of intent to pursue licensure
during the freshman year;
- complete
ED 245E or ED 245S during the sophomore year
(with a grade of C or better);
- submit
an application upon completion of ED 245E
or ED 245S. At the time of application students
must have:

- n secondary
programs
No more than
9 Education credits may be taken prior to acceptance
into the teacher licensure program.
Transfer students must have completed ED 245E
or ED 245S before applying to the program.
The Student-Teaching
Experience
Students seeking teaching licensure reserve
one semester for the student-teaching experience.
Student teaching is the culmination of the Marymount
teacher-education program and reflects the degree
to which a student will be effective as a classroom
teacher. Students register for student teaching
through Marymount University irrespective of
the geographic location of the placement site.
Student teachers are supervised by a faculty
member in the School of Education and Human
Services and by an on-site cooperating teacher.
Students should consult the Marymount University
Student-Teaching Handbook for full information
on student teaching.
Placement is available in public schools in
Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, and Prince
Williams counties; in Alexandria, Falls Church,
and the District of Columbia; the Diocese of
Arlington; the Archdiocese of Washington; and
in accredited private schools. Placement is
made in conjunction with the local school districts
and no particular placement can be guaranteed.
Transportation to and from the cooperating school
is the responsibility of the student. If student
teaching out of the local area is necessary,
the student must meet the written requirements
available from the coordinator of Clinical Experiences.
Placement for student teaching is dependent
upon the Schools and facultys judgement
regarding the students performance in
both coursework and field placement.
Applications for student teaching must be received
by the Office of Clinical Experiences by September
1 for spring student teaching and by January
15 for fall student teaching. Information and
directions for completion are available in the
School of Education and Human Services and can
also be found on the Department of Education
Web page.
Legal
Limitations of Practice
The practice of teaching is regulated by state
laws. Questions concerning licensure in a specific
state should be directed to that states
Board of Education. Students may be required
to submit a national criminal background check
before being placed as a student-teacher. The
cost of the investigation (approximately $50)
may be borne by the student.

CRIMINAL
JUSTICE (B.A.)
The B.A. in Criminal Justice major is distinctive
in its combined emphasis of introductory professional
skills and theoretical foundations. Career preparation
reinforced by commitment to lifelong learning
and advanced education that extends beyond the
baccalaureate level, are central to the study
of this demanding field of inquiry. Simulations
and review of problem-solving methods from actual
cases are used to enhance the students
understanding of lectures and materials. By
examining decision-making processes, including
policy analysis and the day-to-day practical
operations of various components of the criminal
justice system, participants learn to value
and apply theory to practice.
Exploration of traditional and contemporary
models of crime prevention, criminal investigation,
jurisprudence, punishment and rehabilitation,
organization and administrative theory, help
prepare graduates for eventual advancement to
management positions in law enforcement, correctional,
and court (probation and parole) agencies. Graduates
of this rapidly developing field also find positions
in corporate security firms and with government
and private research agencies.

SOCIOLOGY
(B.A.)
The School of Education and Human Services offers
a major in General Sociology. The field is concerned
with the social location of peopletheir
culture, social class, gender, age, and education;
the relationships between groups; and external
influences that are internalized, becoming part
of an individuals identity and behavior.
An undergraduate major in General Sociology
provides a strong liberal arts preparation for
entry-level positions in business, social service,
and governmental sectors. Increasingly, employers
are looking for people with the analytical skills
that a Sociology major provides. The investigative
skills emphasized in the major, along with the
focus on working with diverse groups prove valuable
to students pursuing careers in journalism,
public relations, business, and public administration.
Sociology also provides a strong base for later
professional training in law, education, and
social work.
Students in Sociology interested in focusing
their coursework may elect a special emphasis
in Social Justice. This rigorous program analyzes
those groups most in need of justice. By analyzing
the consequences of inequality, these Sociology
students examine ways of empowering the marginalized
and voiceless to work effectively on their own
behalf by developing community strategies that
enable change.
The Social Justice emphasis in Sociology provides
a strong liberal arts preparation for entry-level
positions as lobbyists, legislative advocates,
fund-raisers, nonprofit directors and work in
government agencies. This program encourages
students to develop their own framework for
addressing social justice issues that interest
them. The Social Justice emphasis also provides
a strong base for later professional training
in law, education, and social work.
Students in Sociology interested in focusing
their coursework also may select a special emphasis
in Early Childhood Education. This concentration
may be selected by students interested in becoming
teachers in the primary grades. Students will
be prepared to apply theoretical and practical
knowledge to early educational settings. Completion
of the required emphasis, and general studies
courses lead to licensure eligibility at the
PK-3 level. This program is approved by the
Virginia Department of Education. NOTE: If a
student in this emphasis is not admitted to
the PK-3 licensure program before the beginning
of the senior year, the student would switch
to General Sociology and complete requirements
for this major.
