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 />
