Undergraduate Programs

Teacher Education is an exciting area to major in. A combination of classroom and hands-on opportunities provides a rich educational experience unmatched by other teacher education programs.

The Teacher Education Unit is made up of two main departments, Curriculum and Instruction and Education Leadership. Curriculum and Instruction supervises the Early-Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education majors. Education Leadership supervises all Middle School, Secondary Education, and Education Administration majors. These two departments and key faculty from content areas work closely together to provide a comprehensive learning environment for all teacher education candidates.
