The School of Education

Core Curriculum

The core courses are designed to guide students in learning to integrate skills and knowledge gained in one course with what they learn in others, including their major.

There are two groups of courses: common core requirements and distributed core requirements. All students take the same nine courses of the "common core" and take other courses in the "distributed core," which vary somewhat by college or program.

See the core curriculum requirements below for the Bachelor of Science degrees in The School of Education.
