Curricular Projects

In the past we have discussed the possibility of offering dual degrees with various other colleges within the university. This has not proven feasible because of the number of credit hours that would be necessary for the students to complete. We have, however, in conjunction with the colleges of Engineering and Arts & Sciences, developed a hybrid program that allows students in certain disciplines who are interested in becoming teachers to complete the requirements for secondary licensure (and potentially a masters degree) within one year of completing their baccalaureate studies. This hybrid program calls for the students to complete six education courses as electives within their regular program and then upon acceptance to the graduate school complete six more courses, including student teaching. Although a new program, we have already received considerable response and have several students participating.
