The College provides undergraduate programs that culminate in a Bachelor of Science in Education and Human Sciences degree across more than 40 distinct teaching endorsements.

Early classroom placements in public and private schools serve as a nationally recognized strength of the College's teacher education program. Although internships benefit many students' academic journeys, practicum experiences and student teaching form an indispensable component of the College of Education and Human Sciences curriculum, requiring successful completion. Failure to complete these field experiences, for any reason, may hinder a candidate's admission to the College or continued enrollment in a teacher preparation program. Students facing challenges in completing field experiences may receive guidance to explore alternative pathways where they can achieve greater success.
