Mission

The mission of the Department of Foundations and Secondary Education at the undergraduate level is to provide foundations of education and instructional technology courses for educator preparation programs in the University.

Students seeking certification in secondary (6-12) teaching fields (biology, business, chemistry, English, French, history, mathematics, physics, political science, and Spanish) or P-12 fields (art, French, health education, Spanish) pursue the undergraduate degree in the desired content area and participate in the pre-professional program in secondary education to prepare for admission to the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) initial certification program upon graduation. Admission requirements for the MAT-SEED degree program are found in the Graduate School catalog.
