Students who are undecided about a career enroll in the College of Arts and Sciences under liberal arts. They take courses in a number of disciplines before declaring a more specific major by their junior year. That gives them both time and opportunity to determine their interests and talents, and they can make an informed decision about a career.
Options enable students to concentrate on a more defined area within certain majors.
Prospective teachers receive a broad-based, interdisciplinary education. They combine courses in education theory and methodology with study in a particular discipline or in the subject they plan to teach. They also teach one semester in a secondary or elementary school. The program prepares them to teach in elementary, middle, or high schools under the Massachusetts two-tier system for certification. We also offer the Master of Arts in Teaching program.
