New BA in secondary education
December 19, 2013
The UAF School of Education now offers a baccalaureate degree in secondary education. The State Board of Education
unanimously approved the new degree Dec. 6. This BA allows students to earn a teaching
license in secondary education in a variety of subject areas, while earning a four-year
degree in a content area such as English, chemistry, earth science, mathematics, and
other areas.
The program is set up as a double major that can be completed in four years. All of
the education classes may be taken via distance delivery, allowing students to complete
their education course work from their home community. The School of Education is
nationally accredited through the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
