Meet the Faculty

The Department of Education offers state-approved academic and field experiences that prepare students to enter the teaching profession. Program completers are eligible for professional teacher certification in the state of Florida.

Students can major in Elementary Education (grades K-6) or minor in Secondary Education (grades 6-12) by completing a selected major in the intended teaching area and the Secondary Education minor.

Students must apply for admission to the Teacher Education Program as soon as they declare an Elementary Education major. Students can find and file applications on the Department’s website. The Director of Teacher Education notifies applicants of acceptance or reason for denial.
