The undergraduate teacher certification program of the West College of Education functions within a Center for the Professional Development of Teachers (CPDT). The CPDT consists of the Gordon T. and Ellen West College of Education and cooperating public schools. All professional education courses, and most reading courses, are taught as field-based courses in classrooms dedicated to our teacher education program in those professional development schools. The Gordon T. and Ellen West College of Education offers teacher certification for elementary, secondary, all-level teachers, and a B.A. and B.S. in Sport and Leisure Studies. Students who wish to become elementary teachers (Early Childhood - Grade 6, 4-8 Generalist, Grades 4-8) graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (BSIS). Students who wish to become secondary teachers (Grades 7-12) or all-level teachers (Grades K-12) pursue a Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Music, or Bachelor of Business Administration with a major and/or minor in appropriate teaching fields.
