Undergraduate students have the choice of pursuing a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Education, depending upon the university's Foreign Culture requirement. Students who elect to take a course in Foreign Culture will pursue the B.S. degree. At the completion of the program, students apply for the degree, as well as the Initial Provisional Teaching Certificate and additional endorsements that have been a part of their program (e.g., Bilingual Endorsement, ESL Endorsement).
The secondary education curriculum leads to a bachelor's degree in education and secondary school teaching certification in the major (Career and Technical Education, English Education, Foreign Language Education, Mathematics Education, Science Education, Social Studies Education and Speech Education) and minor (Bilingual-Bicultural Education and English as a Second Language) areas.
The Secondary Education program leads to a Michigan Secondary Standard Teaching Certificate for teaching in grades 6-12. Visual Arts Education majors receive a K-12 certification. The B.S. in Secondary Education provides an excellent opportunity for students who are interested in making a difference in the lives of young scholars and for those who are pursuing careers in K-12 education.
