Combine a liberal arts education with professional preparation, and gain a solid background in principles and theories of education, rather than a series of methods, so you can be a flexible and proactive professional throughout your career.
Graduates of our programs teach in elementary and secondary public, private, and charter schools here and abroad. Others enter careers in business, industry, and government. Many students pursue graduate degrees in fields such as educational psychology and research, school counseling, school psychology, college student personnel, and speech and occupational therapy. Others use their undergraduate degree as a foundation for the study of law or medicine.
Service-learning is real in a way that goes beyond the theories and ideas in the class; there's actual application, relevance and resonance when students see theory and ideas present in real social situations that matter to them.
