Bachelor of Arts in Instructional Foundations 

This degree program is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to have a background in instructional pedagogy, but who do not wish to complete the requirements for teaching certification.  Students who complete the program will be prepared to work in settings that require expertise in the foundations of education, such as training programs in business and industry, service programs at educational institutions, private child care facilities, etc.

The student will select a focus area, which must be approved by the department.  The focus area will be a cohesive set of courses, which will be designed to provide the student with the knowledge and skills required to take a leadership role in an education-related organization.  The Practicum will be done in the focus area after all other course work is completed.
