    ProTeach Preparation of Professional Teachers

    The College of Education prepares professional teachers in unified elementary/special education, unified early childhood education and the various areas of secondary education.

    ProTeach is a rigorous five-year program designed to culminate in both a bachelor's and a master’s degree.

    Students engage in early observation, supervised practice and a concluding internship in the public schools, as well as campus-based clinical experiences in microteaching, simulation and other controlled situations.

    ProTeach students in unified elementary/special education and unified early childhood education receive a Bachelor of Arts in Education upon successful completion of the first phase of the teacher education program, including a prescribed set of courses and experiences. An additional year beyond the bachelor’s degree is required for completion of the second phase of the teacher education programs.

    Secondary ProTeach

    Students who wish to teach at the high school level complete a bachelor’s degree in an appropriate content discipline before pursuing a master’s degree in secondary education in the College of Education. The approved subject areas of study for secondary education include English (major in English); science (major in biology, botany, chemistry, entomology, microbiology, physics, wildlife ecology or zoology); and social science (major in anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology or sociology).

New rules may affect required courses in all teacher preparation programs.
