There are several universities, colleges and professional schools that offer bachelor’s degree programs in education. Many institutions provide the opportunity to specialize in areas such as special education, bilingual education, English as a Second Language (ESL) and elementary education. If you wish to become a teacher upon earning your bachelor’s degree, you might consider enrolling in a program that allows you to earn your teaching license while you complete your degree.
The Professional Degree Program offered by Quincy University in Illinois provides you with the opportunity to earn your bachelor’s degree and teaching license while keeping your full-time job. The program is offered in special education and in elementary education and leads to a Bachelor of Science in Education and a teaching certificate. In this program, you will receive real-world experience in the classroom via a required student-teaching assignment. After successfully completing the program of your choice, you will be eligible to continue on for a Bilingual or ESL endorsement with an extra semester of coursework.
The bachelor degree programs are offered in a blended format, with online instruction and face-to-face seminars offered at convenient locations near you. The blended format allows you a flexible schedule during the day, so you can maintain your current employment.
