Supporting Major Minor/Concentration

Academic Standing: Fr Soph Jr Sr Anticipated Graduation Date

The major in Educational Studies emphasizing Teaching & Learning is designed to support students interested in entering the teaching profession. As requirements vary by state, graduate program, and focus of teaching interests (age of student, subject matter), carefully tailored personalized advising is provided for students who intend to pursue a teaching license and/or master’s degree in teaching upon graduation.

The Teaching & Learning pathway also provides excellent preparation for students intending to enter teaching through programs that do not require state licensing such as Urban Teaching Fellows, World Teach, Peace Corp, Ameri-Corp, Teach for America, Montessori or Waldorf training, adult basic education or ESL, museum education, artists-in-residence, community education, etc.
