Secondary World History Education
It has been said that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, so learning about history must be incredibly important! Unlike secular universities, FBBC teaches students actual history, that God is the author of all history, and how to teach history in an engaging way to the next generation. In light of Faith’s accreditation, graduation from this program makes you eligible for state licensure and would qualify you to teach both in Christian and public schools.
Accredited Education Program
Faith is approved by the Iowa Department of Education, which means our graduates are eligible to receive Iowa teacher licensure. Our students consistently perform well on the Praxis exams for state licensure. The 2022 graduates had a 100% pass rate for the exams!
