Directory of Teacher Education Graduates 2012
Covenant College is a four-year Christian liberal arts college located on Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the northwest corner of Georgia. It seeks to hold the college motto, "in all things. . . Christ pre-eminent." (Colossians 1:18) in every aspect of its programs and courses. Covenant College also offers a Master of Education degree with specialization in Educational Leadership, and Integrated Curriculum and Instruction.
