Education Foundations BS
Education Foundations - 42 Credits
This is an online program of study that provides students an avenue for entering the teaching profession who would otherwise could not due to financial and mobility barriers. This degree program does not lead to initial teacher licensure. The plan of study is geared for entry level certified paraprofessional positions and entry level non-certified daycare workers. The goals for this program are aligned with the outcomes for graduates to possess the ability/skills to effectively work with, mentor, and teach birth through eighth grade students in a public or parochial school setting. This bachelor’s degree provides students opportunities to easily transfer into a four-year teacher certification degree program, serve as a non-certified teacher (private setting), serve as a non-certified childcare worker, serve as a certified paraprofessional, or hold a position as a curriculum developer. A second mission of this program is to provide prospective students who have already completed a bachelor’s degree in the content area to receive initial teacher certification through the Temporary Authorization route (TAC) or apprentice programs.
