Bachelor of Science in Education
Bachelor of Science in Education degrees from the Department of Curriculum and Teaching are offered in:
- Elementary Education – grades Kindergarten – 6th
- Elementary Education Unified - grades Kindergarten - 6th, in both general and special education classrooms
- English Education Secondary – grades 6th – 12th
- Foreign Language Education – grades pre-Kindergarten – 12th
- History & Government Education Secondary – grades 6th – 12th
- Unified Early Childhood Education – Birth – 3rd grade, in both general and special education classrooms
All programs prepare students to be leaders and professionals in education and to positively impact children, classrooms, families, and society. Undergraduate programs feature extensive coursework in subject areas taught by expert faculty and multiple field experiences in rural, urban and suburban communities. Added endorsement options in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and Special Education are available.
The Elementary education program prepares students to teach all subjects to children in kindergarten through sixth grade. Students have a broad background in English, mathematics, humanities, social sciences, and the sciences coupled with teaching methods classes. Multiple classes include fieldwork in elementary schools to practice and refine teaching skills.
The Elementary Education Unified (EEU) education program prepares students to teach children in kindergarten through sixth grades in general education, special education, and inclusive classrooms, meeting the needs of all elementary students including those with identified disabilities and those at risk for delays. Students learn to structure rigorous learning experiences in multiple core academic content areas as well as address the social/emotional needs of individuals within and beyond each classroom, school, and into the global community.
The Secondary English education program mixes literature-based theory and knowledge with culturally rich readings and discussions. Courses taught by the English Department offer students learning options in rhetoric, linguistics, and literature.
The Foreign Languages education program offers majors in seven foreign languages: Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian or Spanish. Students in this program are encouraged to immerse themselves in the language by adding a Study Abroad experience. Note: Admission to the Chinese and Japanese languages is suspended pending licensure changes.
The Secondary History and Government education program includes multiple content courses in history, economics, political science, and geography from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Students in the program learn how to engage middle and high school students in historical and contemporary topics using effective teaching strategies.
The Unified Early Childhood (UEC) education program leads to licensure for both general education and special education in infant, toddler, preschool, and kindergarten through third grade. Students in this program prepare to work in inclusive settings to meet the learning needs of young children, including those with disabilities.
