A “Pre-education” Degree
Like pre-law or pre-med, the Bachelor of Arts in Humanities for Teaching is a pre-education degree. Because we do not pack a teaching certificate into the program, students have time to hone their reading and writing skills, focus their studies in an endorsement area, and reflect on what it means to be a teacher.
Students with a degree in Humanities for Teaching are excellent candidates for Masters in Teaching programs, which enable them to earn an average of $7,000 per year more than their counterparts with only a Bachelor’s degree.
Forming Future Teachers
Students in the Humanities for Teaching degree take foundational humanities classes and specialized teaching classes, as well as classes in the discipline they want to teach. Three required internships give students real teaching experience.
