- Description
- The Education major prepares people to be highly qualified, reflective, licensed teachers. The major supports students in integrating the liberal arts, their subject matter, and professional education. Reflective teacher candidates assess their options and make sound professional decisions based on practical, pedagogical, and ethical criteria. Teacher candidates develop leadership skills and contribute to the profession and to society. The Education major is sequential and culminates with the 14-week student teaching semester — EDUC 389 Student Teaching (3.0 credits) and the capstone course EDUC 381 Senior Seminar (.5 credits). To ensure depth, breadth, and mastery in their licensure areas, students majoring in Education must also major in their teaching content areas: English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, or Physics.
