BA/BS Middle/Secondary Education

Middle and high school — these are the formative years! As a middle or high school teacher, you can help students discover music, biology, chemistry, math, social sciences, English or the Spanish language and who they are during a critical time. Are you interested in this rewarding field?

St. Scholastica is widely regarded for all of its educational programs, and the Middle/Secondary Education major is no exception. As a student in the Stender School of Leadership, Business and Professional Studies, you’ll be immersed in courses that emphasize holistic and hands-on learning.

Your courses will be taught by exceptional, well-respected professionals with years of experience as K-12 teachers that they’ll bring to your classroom. Small class sizes will allow you to forge strong relationships with faculty as well as your fellow students, creating lifelong friendships.

Through the coursework, you will focus on the most current best practices in the classroom, from teaching methods to high-tech tools. From the day you graduate, you’ll be ready to make a real impact on the lives of your students.
