Why Study Education Non-Licensure
This non-licensure program will be of interest to students who are seeking to develop
interdisciplinary competencies in education that will also serve as preparation for
seeking initial teacher licensure at the master’s level.
This non-licensure degree option allows flexibility to focus on studying topics related to education across interdisciplinary contexts. The Education Non-Licensure Concentration, while not providing teaching licensure, emphasizes education-related disciplines related to children, adolescents, and their families. These topic-specific courses will help students to obtain their career objectives. Students with this concentration might work with preschool children, after-school programs, paraprofessionals, and other youth-oriented organizations and social agencies. In addition, this concentration may serve as preparation for seeking initial teacher licensure at the master’s level.
The College of Education faculty have years of experience teaching in the education
field both at the PK-12 level and higher education level and bring a wealth of knowledge
and skills to help students become well-rounded educators.
Graduates of this program work in various career fields including childcare workers, instructional designers, educational consultants, and preschool administrators.
