Return to: Programs (A-Z)
The English department believes that mastery of written communication is fundamental to professional success, self-expression, and personal growth. We support the scholarship of engagement by fostering communication skills and critical authority for our students’ professional development, academic excellence, and life-long learning. Through a program of study that includes world literatures, writing in various genres, linguistic theory and development, and critical perspectives, our students develop a keen sense of the power of language and learn to deploy that power to benefit themselves and their communities.

Secondary Education Licensure Core:
Secondary education licensure requires a content major in a certifiable teaching area and completion of the following eight components:
- Foundations of Collegiate Learning, Liberal Arts Core, and university graduation requirements
- The education core (See “The Education Core” section.)
- SEDU 310 Standards, Assessment and Instruction for Engaged Learning
- The secondary methods course(s) in your chosen discipline including the field experience (See below)
- TEAC 4XX Student Teaching in Secondary Disciplinary Area
Secondary Methods:
Students must take the methods course related to their major. In addition, if one desires to add another secondary teaching endorsement, the methods course for that endorsement must be taken. Some secondary methods courses are offered every other year. Check with your education advisor or the registrar’s office for more information.
The Education Core:
The education core, which is required of all students seeking a teaching license, is the nucleus of the teacher education program and includes basic courses in education and psychology. Elementary education majors, students seeking secondary licensure, and Post Baccalaureate students are required to take all EDCO courses for a letter grade and to earn a minimum grade of “C-” in each course.
* Prerequisite:
Students must complete a background check prior to beginning this field experience. The background check will be conducted by BVU’s Human Resource department and is at the student’s expense.
