Programs of Study
MAJORS: Education Certification Options

Students majoring in education choose from 7 programs of study, two of which result in eligibility to receive dual certification (one in Elementary Education and one in Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing). All programs are state-approved education degree programs, and the Deaf Education program is accredited by the National Council for the Education of the Deaf. In addition, each program allows for an ESOL endorsement.

Students may combine a major in education of the deaf and hard of hearing with elementary education. Students may also combine a major in elementary education with exceptional student education.

Students should ask their advisors to explain those majors that are single certification and those that are dual certification.

A checklist of required courses for each major is available in the Education Department office or in the catalog (a direct link to our catalog online is in the menu at the left of this page). A copy of the checklist may also be obtained from the student's academic advisor. Each student is required to obtain a copy of the checklist for his/her major, become familiar with the course requirements, and use the checklist for schedule planning and course registration. Total hours for each major are included in the checklist. Also see the Education Department pages for more information>>
