STUDIES IN EDUCATION<br />
The Studies in Education major is a professional education<br />
program leading to a bachelor of arts degree. This major is<br />
not a licensure degree but maintains emphasis on the<br />
education course content. The common learning component;<br />
and field and practicum placements continue to provide<br />
professional skills. An additional focus area could be minor<br />
chosen by the student. This interdisciplinary degree is an<br />
option for students who wish to examine education as a<br />
discipline or pursue a career outside of an educational<br />
classroom, such as training, education management, adult<br />
education, media, not for profit, or youth services to name a<br />
few.<br />
The major also provides opportunities for study in various<br />
minor areas. The degree is a means of developing various<br />
professional skills complementary with the education course<br />
content. Advisor will work with students to choose course<br />
work that will be appropriate to the academic/professional<br />
goals of the student. Phase assessment is similar in nature to<br />
the Elementary Education degree. Praxis testing is not<br />
required for this degree.<br />
