Introduction

Education is a Bachelor program taught at Assumption College, USA. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

Education at Assumption College is an undergraduate B.A. program in the Education Department in which students pursue a teaching degree. The program is designed for double major completion and leads to a Massachusetts Initial Teaching License. Students study teaching alongside a specific content area. The department aims to prepare students to teach in a safe classroom environment and to develop professional character and integrity.

The program combines liberal arts and science study with pre-professional courses and guided field experience. Students complete Stage 1 courses that are open to all undergraduate students, then apply to the Education major during their sophomore year. After acceptance into Stage 2, students choose an elementary or other licensure option, and complete Stage 2 coursework. Stage 3 includes Practicum and Seminar, leading to fieldwork that culminates in full-time student teaching, with 400+ hours in K-12 school classrooms.
