Degrees and Areas of Study

Please review the teacher education content preparation programs in the College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Liberal Arts sections of this catalog. Many teaching areas require a bachelor's degree in the content area, with teacher preparation being provided on the graduate level within a master's degree program. Examples include Mathematics Education, Science Education (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.), Modern Languages Education, (French and Spanish), Social Studies Education, English Education, and Art Education.

The college offers curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree in selected teaching fields and for selected age levels, and to recommendation for Ohio teacher licensure in the fields listed following. Teacher licensure in Ohio also requires passing scores on examinations mandated by the Ohio Department of Education.

The teacher preparation programs meet the State of Ohio Standards for Colleges and Universities for preparing teachers. One of the requirements mandated by these standards is the completion of a minimum of 300 practica experience hours prior to student teaching. Full-day and/or half-day practica are required throughout Phase I and Phase II of the early childhood program and multi-age health and physical education program, as well as in Phase I (the undergraduate portion) of the middle childhood program, adolescent to young adult programs, and select multi-age programs.
