The purpose of the Bachelor of Science degree in Education is to prepare students for teaching positions in grades K-8 as well as in settings for children from birth through Kindergarten. The three concentrations available in the Bachelor of Science program in Education combine rich and varied course offerings with numerous field experiences. Students benefit from faculty who bring their experiences in the field of education into the classroom.
Students participate in practicum activities in schools throughout the state.
Admission to student teaching requires completion of a minimum of 105 clock hours of practicum. These practicum hours are not a part of a course and include contact time via regularly scheduled seminars directed by full-time faculty. All methods courses require professional activities in a clinical setting. Other courses require additional clinical experiences that begin in the freshman year and continue until completion of the program. The program is approved by the State Department of Education.
