What to Expect
Trevecca’s School of Education undergraduate and post-baccalaureate programs are designed to prepare you for a teaching career. However, we know that some students may not complete our student teaching requirement or may not pass the required testing for admittance into the School of Education. The studies in education program provide you with a non-teaching alternative if you fall into one of those categories.
Additionally, some students may not desire to become licensed teachers. If you have been admitted into the School of Education and have met all other requirements for graduation but still don’t intend to pursue your teaching license, you’ll need to meet with the Director of Teacher Education to discuss whether the studies in education program is the best path for you.
