Courses
The courses you take in the Department of Education depend on which track and specialty you choose. Each course is part of an intentionally designed sequence of courses that are meant to be taken in order as the content builds from one course to the next. Most courses include a field placement/clinical experience as part of the course requirements.
From your first course as a freshman through your final course during your senior year and ending with your student teaching ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É” you will have actual, hands on, classroom experience. This is what makes our program unique!
We advise you to meet with an education professor your freshman year to discuss your future dreams and plans about teaching in order to plan the right classes. Below are the professorsÑÇÖÞÉ«°É™ names organized by type of certification.
