Required credits to graduate with this degree: 120
In addition to the essential studies requirements for the baccalaureate degree, majors in Studies in Education are required to complete the core of courses specified below. They also must complete the major and a certificate, minor, or second major offered by any one of the disciplines of the University with a minimum of 16 SH. Students must also complete 5 SH of Mayville State University’s Institutional and Technology requirements.
Studies in Education majors complete 36 hours of essential studies with a minimum grade of “C” for the following courses: including COMM 110, ENGL 110, ENGL 120 or ENGL 125, GEOG 103, MATH 103, PSYC 111. Additional prerequisites include SCNC 101 and SCNC 101L, SCNC 102 and SCNC 102L, and a history course, preferably HIST 103 or HIST 104.
Students are required to earn a “B” in EDUC 250 and EDUC 298 and a “C” in PSYC 255. Students must complete the application process for Teacher Education but do not have to be fully admitted. Beneficial minors would be early childhood or special education.
Those majoring in Studies in Education would be prepared to offer an invaluable service to the teachers in the public school system based on the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that they have developed. This major is primarily for students who want to work in an educational setting. It should be noted that students will not be fully admitted to teacher education and will not qualify for teacher licensure with this degree. From a personal perspective, they may choose to be team members; they may not be ready to be “in charge.” They could add a dimension to the classroom that would richly benefit the teacher and the students as they mature, apply their knowledge and develop the pedagogical skills necessary to meet students’ needs. They may return to the University setting to finish their BSEd in Education which will include full admission into teacher education, and an additional 30 hours, with student teaching.
HPER 100-Concepts of Fitness and Wellness, CIS 112-Introduction to Word Processing, CIS 114-Introduction to Spreadsheet Applications, CIS 118-Introduction to Presentation Graphics are institutional requirements (5 SH).
