The Secondary Education program is committed to preparing teachers who are able to meet the challenges of today's classrooms. The teacher education faculty provides an educational program that enables students to: develop a strong foundation of knowledge about teaching and learning, display a love of learning, value democracy and pluralism, and engage in reflective practice about one's growth as a teacher. To accomplish this, the program offers students: A strong liberal arts education with emphasis in the particular academic discipline in which the student will be teaching, background in the foundations of secondary education, methods for instruction in the academic disciplines, methods for educating culturally diverse and special needs populations, and experience teaching in public schools.The Secondary Education program's major in Business Education leads to a Bachelor of Science in the College of Education (120 undergraduate credits). You have the option of combining this with a degree in your content area-sometimes requiring no increase in the total credits required. Graduates of this program must complete a semester-long internship to meet state licensure requirements and be prepared to teach a specific subject in grades 7-12 in Nevada.
