Bachelor’s Degree in Education
Coker’s education degree combines a strong liberal arts core with the specialized content and professional education courses necessary to excel as a leader and professional in the education field.
The Coker model is unique in that every education course has a corresponding field experience in a real public school classroom, where you’ll observe and work with PK-12 students. These field experiences, which begin in your first year and continue throughout the program, give you real teaching experience from your first methods class (taken during your first or second year). Our program prepares you for certification, but it also prepares you with strong content knowledge and the skills to apply innovative ideas and teaching models that adjust to your students’ individual needs. When you graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Coker, you graduate ready to be not just a teacher, but also a mentor and partner in the learning process.
