Academic Programs

The School of Education offers over 40 degree, minor, and license addition programs at the undergraduate level. Many programs - with a little planning - can be combined with other programs to allow for dual teaching licenses, multiple minors or any number of other options. All programs require 120 credits.

Generally, each program requires coursework that addresses:

  • the General Education requirements for the Bloomington campus,
  • the programs respective content area, and
  • the respective program's professional education requirements.

Courses used to satisfy general education requirements also may be applied to fulfill requirements for content area and/or subject matter specialty study. In such cases, the course may be used to meet all requirements to which it will apply, but the credit hours may be counted only once toward the total credit hours needed for a degree.
