Introduction:
The College of Education offers teacher preparation for
people seeking bachelor's degrees, for individuals who have already earned a bachelor's
degree and seek state teacher certification, and for those who wish to earn a
master’s degree while preparing for certification. Separate programs prepare
professionals to teach in elementary/middle school (K-8) and secondary (7-12)
levels. There is also an undergraduate program in cross-categorical special
education. Master’s programs in special education are offered as well. Programs include a
semester of supervised student teaching. The elementary program for
undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students also includes a semester of
field-based methods study that takes place in a Tucson-area elementary school.
Undergraduate Admissions:
The College of Education is an upper-division college, providing
undergraduates with course work at the junior and senior level only (300-499).
Undergraduates normally apply for admission to the College at the end of their
sophomore year, after two years at a two- or four-year institution as
pre-education majors. If enrolled at The University of Arizona,
pre-education majors are administratively housed in the College of Education. All students seeking admission to the College of Education
are strongly encouraged to consult an academic advisor in the Office of
Student Services in the College of Education early in their college career,
(520) 621-7865.
General Education Program:
All undergraduate students are required to complete a common general
education program. Designed to provide a foundation for university
learning, the program develops students’ creative and analytical skills and
integrates knowledge across university disciplines.
Pre-education majors generally complete their general education course work
in the freshman and sophomore years. Students and advisors should
consult the Degree / Academic Program Requirements Reports (APRRs) for
specific general education and major requirements.
Title II of the Higher Education Act:
The U.S. government requires that institutions preparing teachers
report
certain information about their programs to state and federal departments
of education and the public. To view data from the most recent
report filed by the University of Arizona, go to the 
Title II of the Higher
Education Act report, on the College of Education site.
