Education


Description of Major

Students pursuing undergraduate degrees in Early Childhood Education complete a concentration in a selected area. Students in Elementary Education or Secondary Education enroll jointly in the College of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences, earning two degrees in a program that includes a year long internship in the school. Graduates earn a BA or BS degree in Arts & Sciences in their selected major, and a BS Degree in Education and a teaching certificate from the State of Ohio.
