"Secondary Education majors add a second non-education major, required for licensure as a teacher and adding valuable academic preparation for a wide variety of professional options. Beginning in the freshman year, students visit and observe classrooms in local schools and agencies and in experimental classrooms on campus. These real-classroom experiences, in conjunction with university course work, help students integrate educational theory, research, and classroom practice.Additionally, faculty academic advisors meet with students each semester to monitor and support students' progress through their programs of study. Technology is integrated throughout the programs to support students' learning. Students are paired with experienced first-year advisors to help navigate their initial transition to the college, then linked to faculty advisors whose academic interests overlap the students’ for the remainder of their program."
