In addition, students participating in the program on the OU-Tulsa Campus will have a particular focus on working with very young children (birth to age 8) and their families, in a variety of settings.
Elementary Education
The Elementary Education program is truly a hands-on experience for students. As soon as students are fully admitted to their major within the college, they begin spending time in classrooms. This real-world education is coupled with what students learn in the classroom. The curriculum focuses on first grade through sixth grade (and possibly up to eighth grade) in social studies, science, language arts and math. Students study areas such as educational psychology, child development, pedagogy and teaching methodology.
Language Arts Education
Students who are passionate about teaching literature, writing and speaking will find the nationally recognized Language Arts Education program a stimulating blend of English literature and writing courses and diverse hands-on classroom experiences.
Mathematics Education
The Mathematics Education program offers its students excellent preparation for this responsibility with in-class education and hands-on opportunities. Mathematics teachers help to educate our doctors, engineers, scientists and business leaders in basic skills required to do their jobs every day.
Science Education
The Science Education program includes teaching certification options that give students who wish to teach secondary school science a solid foundation in the natural sciences and proven pedagogy. After students complete a rigorous study of science content related to their certification field of study, they thoroughly investigate sound, successful, theory-based pedagogical coursework in the John W. Renner Science Education Center. At the completion of their degree program, students are highly qualified for science teaching positions at the secondary level.
- Science Education, Biological Sciences
- Science Education, Chemistry
- Science Education, Earth Science
