Comprehensive programs to meet your teaching goals
In undergraduate studies, the focus is to develop your skills and strategies to teach K-12 students. Develop your passion for teaching through coursework and field experiences. From early childhood, to elementary education, and secondary education, our programs provide the framework to become a caring and effective teacher. There is an option to enter the special education field at all levels.
At the graduate level, you will work to expand your abilities and expertise as a teacher. Gain more specialization at specific grade levels and in specified areas. And beyond teaching, our educational leadership degrees and licensures strive to build your management, business, and other key skills to effectively guide a school or school district. Or you can chose to focus your abilities and energy on the whole student experience with master's degrees in counseling or student personnel administration.
