Career and Technical Education
 |
The 185-credit hour Career and Technical Education baccalaureate degree program includes 37-credit hours of licensure coursework at the undergraduate level, 15-credit hours in Career and Technical Education, 56-credit hours of general education, and the remaining 77-credit hours in professional education requirements and electives. Designed for students who are employed as secondary Career and Technical Education instructors and possess job-relevant competence, the sequence of courses for licensure is completed in two years (including summers) and the remaining coursework is completed afterward at the students’ discretion. Students that possess an associate’s degree from an accredited university (per WSU guidelines) may apply relevant technical education credits toward the baccalaureate degree (based on institutional approval). Several courses are delivered via web-based instruction; mainly courses are delivered via face-to-face instruction and provide interaction among teacher education faculty, pre-service teachers and guest speakers along with opportunities for interpersonal and social contact, and observation of non-verbal communication and role modeling of instructional delivery. Emphasis for this program is on assisting students with the transition from business/industry to education. |
