Overview
The program mission is for students to develop a greater understanding of and appreciation for the complexities of teaching and learning and, as alumni, to lead lives of learning, leadership, and service as effective educators.

Students who plan to pursue a career as a teacher may want to choose a major that can lead directly to certification. For example, students interested in teaching high school mathematics may want to choose the mathematics major.
