You may even be able to complete certification requirements in more than one area. These experiences and certifications will increase your competence and your marketability. You will work closely with your freshman advisor and your major profession to plan your course of study. Each freshman advisor works with only 10 students and meets with them at least once a semester. Your advisor in education can help you make the most of your college career and assist you in achieving the goals you've set for yourself.
Many students go directly into teaching after graduation.
Others remain at Converse to obtain the M.Ed., the Ed.S., or the degree in Marriage and Family Counseling. Many are able to teach in the local schools and simultaneously take courses at Converse toward their advanced degree. You can obtain information about the graduate programs and about one of the only graduate gifted programs in the state by contacting the Graduate Education Office. The Converse Education Faculty is dedicated to providing quality instruction, individual assistance, and practical classroom experiences for each student. Thomas R.
