 Return to: Academic Programs
This Education Studies program has been developed for students who wish to develop teaching skills but do not plan to pursue a position in a school where a teaching license is required. This program may include securing positions in private schools, developing curriculum, serving as camp staff, posting training opportunities, or working with children outside of the public education system. Such a program should be designed in consultation with a faculty advisor after the student has had significant college experience. TESOL and Intercultural Studies minors would complement this degree well.
