Secondary Education
The School of Education’s undergraduate programs
emphasize urban education and are designed for those
interested in becoming certified teachers at the preschool, elementary, middle, and secondary levels.
Students receive training in the most updated trends in
theory, instruction, and technology in the classroom and
then are provided opportunities for observation and
practice in the form of relevant field experiences.

Our full-time program is unique in that, in addition to the 12-week student teaching experience
required for certification, it is the only teacher certification degree program in the nation that
includes a co-op experience directly related to your major area of certification.
The result: you will become a well-rounded, knowledgeable educator prepared to assume the
instructional opportunities and challenges of today’s classroom.
Students wanting specific information about the major are encouraged to stop by the
