Courses to Take During the First Two Years

What you need to take before entering COEHS 

 

Bachelor's degree programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts in Education (BAE) have as their primary objective the preparation of educators with broad foundations of observable, measurable competencies that contribute to their personal and professional growth. These competencies should enable the educators to assist learners to realize their full potential in ways which are meaningful and satisfying to the learners and which lead them to effective participation as members of society.

 

Admission to the Program
Those entering the College of Education and Human Services must meet University admissions requirements as well as specific COEHS admissions criteria. You will need a variety of courses to satisfy all program prerequisites, foreign language, and General Education requirements. You will need to have passing scores on all four parts of the General Knowledge (GK) exam.
