Overview

The Adolescent-to-Young Adult (AYA) program offers a Bachelor of Science in Education (BSEd) that leads to a teaching license in grades 7-12 in one subject area (language arts, mathematics, science, or social studies). The program design is grounded in national and state standards and emphasizes a commitment to equity, justice, and diversity.

Creative, Active, and Reflective Educators (CARE) Program

Candidates can complete the standard AYA program or can apply to participate in the CARE program . CARE is a unique partnership with the Federal Hocking School District and includes a focus on democratic education, specialized coursework, and additional classroom experiences that emphasize the whole child from K-12.

Overseas Student Teaching

The Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching (COST) program offers teacher candidates the unique opportunity to live abroad for an entire semester while completing their professional internship. The program offers students professional and personal growth in ways that are increasingly important for living and teaching in the United States.
