Secondary Education BS

Exploring new career options? Becoming a teacher may be easier than you think. Coupled with your work experience, your bachelor's degree in education will give you an edge as you pursue teaching positions in high schools, technical-vocational centers, alternative and magnet schools, tech-prep programs and other non-traditional educational studies. This degree program also prepares you to pursue a postgraduate degree in education or education administration.

*The indicator that a major or minor is "mostly available" at a particular location should not deter you for seeking more information about the option. In many cases the major or minor can be completed through a combination of courses offered on the main campus and transfer from other institutions. Contact an advisor for more information.
