Students considering education as a major should be interested in a specific subject, be effective in working with young people, and be able to relate knowledge to and motivate students. Since secondary school teachers instruct students in a specific subject, college students should decide on their specialization by the sophomore year and begin taking elective courses in their area of specialization.

Training in education and experience in teaching can provide persons with excellent skills in working with people, and may also open doors to careers other than teaching. For example, after experience in teaching, and with additional education, teachers may be able to move into positions such as school librarian, reading specialist, curriculum specialist, or other school support staff positions.

Students planning to work toward a bachelor's degree in education are advised to register for the following courses while attending BSC. An Associate in Arts degree is earned if all requirements are completed.

Students should refer to the catalog of the school where they plan to complete their bachelor's degree requirements and modify this curriculum if necessary.

Career Possibilities: Teacher, School Administrator, School Support Staff Positions (with additional education), Counselor, Librarian.
