SECONDARY ENGLISH (7-12) – NON-CERTIFICATION
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
PROGRAM (120 CREDITS)
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE
For those students who wish to earn a degree in Education but do not wish to pursue state teaching certification, the Education Department of UVF provides a non-certification degree in Secondary Education- English. The non-certification education programs provides field experiences, but does not require student teaching and seminar. In place of student teaching, students will take electives that may contribute to a minor of the student’s choice. Because this non-certification program does not allow the students to be eligible for teacher certification, students must have a minimal cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 to graduate from this education program. Eligible students will receive the Bachelor of Science – Education degree.
