Welcome to the Undergraduate Education program for seventh grade through twelth grade. We are committed to preparing competent, qualified, ethical, and reflective practitioners for service in diverse communities who believe in promoting care, justice, and equity in urban settings.
Our program is divided into two components, the minor in education and teacher certification. The minor in Education is open to all students with about 60 credits. Upon completion of the minor, if you have decided to become a grade seven through twelve teacher and your overall GPA is a minimum 3.0, you will then complete an additional four (five for Art) courses. Completion of the minor and then the teacher education sequence will provide you with an initial teacher certification, allowing you to begin teaching in your subject area.
One of our major program goals is to support your development of leadership skills, knowledge and dispositions so you are prepared to make a critical different in the lives of students.
The Evalyn and Stephen Milman Undergraduate and Graduate Scholarships for Innovation in Teaching are intended to recognize educator candidates who have demonstrated excellent academic performance and strong dispositions for being outstanding educators, and/or have already demonstrated leadership skills in a discipline (e.g., Early Childhood Education, Counseling Education, or Science Education).
