Programs Undergraduate Programs We offer undergraduate programs in Human Learning, Secondary Education, and Special Education. Each of these programs is presented in three dimensions: general education, content education, and professional education. These dimensions will produce professionals who will be effective facilitators of learning.
We are dedicated to providing a variety of opportunities throughout our four year period of study. Each year the professional complexity increases to aid in the development of the knowledge and skills necessary to be a successful facilitator of learning in a K-12 classroom. Students who successfully complete any of the undergraduate programs will be awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. All of our teacher preparation programs are approved by the Tennessee State Board of Education and accredited by NCATE.
Graduate Programs We also offer four graduate programs. The Master of Science in Education with a major in Counseling has two concentrations: 1) School Counseling and 2) Community Counseling. The school counselor concentration will prepare counselors to support teachers and other school personnel as well as parents in addressing the needs of students related to academic, career preparation, and personal growth and development. Students will be prepared to serve schools with grades pre-Kindergarten through twelve. The community concentration will prepare counselors for addressing the needs of the community.
The Master of Science in Education with a major in Teaching is available for those students who have obtained a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and who are professionally licensed to teach. The program is designed for those who are qualified and interested in working on an advanced professional degree for preparation to teach in this new millennium.
