Bachelor in Education Degree Programs

Bachelor of Education Overview

Bachelor of Education programs allow students to take teaching credential classes along with other general education coursework to earn a bachelor's degree in education. Intended for students who have a high school diploma, GED or an associate's degree, bachelor's degree programs in teaching or education generally emphasize a broad liberal arts education in addition to pedagogy.

After receiving the degree and passing a state or national teaching exam, graduates are certified to teach in their state. However, there are some states that require a master's degree in order to teach, so you'll need to research your state's requirements. Find your state's department of education website.

Post-Bachelor's Certificate Programs

The most common route of entry into teaching are post-baccalaureate programs, which confer a certificate, range from 10 months to two years, and provide students with bachelor's degrees the opportunity to complete the required coursework for their state's teaching credential. Students must also pass a state or national teaching exam such as the PRAXIS in order to become fully licensed.
