TEACHING AND TEACHER EDUCATION
(TTE )
The department offers programs directed toward the certification of elementary and secondary school teachers, the continuing education of certified members of the teaching profession, and advanced graduate preparation of professional educators.
At the undergraduate level, the department offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts in Education with a major in elementary education. In addition, students may work toward endorsements in bilingual education and middle level education. A specialization in early childhood education is also available.
In the area of secondary education, both the Bachelor of Arts in Education and the Bachelor of Science in Education degrees are available. Students interested in teaching at the secondary school level will select a subject area teaching major and earn the degree appropriate to the chosen major. Secondary education students need a teaching minor unless they have an extended major, e.g. social studies or English. Prospective students should consult the Office of Student and Career Services within the College of Education for more information.
A certification program for post-baccalaureate teacher candidates is also available. Interested students are encouraged to consult advisors in the academic discipline of their proposed teaching major for information about appropriate course work in that discipline. For information about courses in the College of Education, students should consult the Office of Student and Career Services within the College of Education.
For information regarding the professional education course sequence, please consult an advisor in the Office of Student and Career Services.
