Secondary Education
The secondary education curriculum at Arkansas Tech University is designed to equip teacher candidates with the necessary skills and knowledge for teaching careers at the secondary level (grades 7-12, 4-12, or K-12, depending on the chosen major). Teacher candidates who complete the CAEP-accredited secondary education program will be eligible for licensure in their respective areas of specialization. The program focuses on three key components of teacher education: a robust general education foundation, an in-depth understanding of the selected teaching field, and a comprehensive understanding of student development, diversity, and the teaching-learning process.
