USF offers a range of programs for students stages of life who wish to join one of the 21st century professions. Now is the time. Both undergraduate and graduate programs prepare graduates to become “complete teachers,” to maximize learning for school children, serve the community, and be on a never-ending quest to advance themselves as professional educators.
High School Students
Are you a high school graduate working toward a bachelor’s degree? Do you hope to inspire learning in elementary and secondary-age young people? Yes, we have programs for that. As an undergraduate you may choose from 11 majors, in secondary, elementary, and special education. Beginning with their first course in education, students explore the real world of schools, where they work with dedicated professors and veteran teachers who show them how to overcome classroom challenges and meet their professional goals. A secure, supportive sense of community develops as education students learn, play, and work together in small classes and organizations such as Educators In Action. Soon, students come to know and trust professors who genuinely care about their students’ success.
Degree Holders
Do you currently hold a bachelor’s degree? A master’s degree? Doors open for those wishing to move their careers to the next stage. For “career growers,” and those who hope to join the education profession, our master’s degrees, teacher licensure, and continuing education / license renewal, programs make returning to school a realistic option. Time-challenged working adults may choose flexible class schedules in both online and on-site formats.
Thinking of teaching close to home? Or, maybe looking to experience places far away? With state and national accreditation, USF Department of Education graduates are qualified to teach not only in Indiana, but across the country and around the globe.
How do I pay for a USF education?
Not to worry. USF provides financial assistance to 95% of its students. The Office of Financial Aid works with students to meet their money needs.
