Education Department Programs
Students can earn a minor, bachelor’s degree or post-baccalaureate certificate focused on education, or they can earn a bachelor’s degree in another discipline and earn a teacher certification in the process. Whatever level or subject our students want to teach, there’s a program available to make it a reality.
