Do you enjoy teaching others and inspiring them to learn new things? A career in education may be for you. The primary purpose of the Department of Education is to serve and inspire you so that you master the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to become caring and competent educators in a diverse and technological society. The department offers undergraduate and graduate programs built on the framework of C.A.R.E. — Craft of Teaching, Attitudes and Values, Relationships and Essential Knowledge. Courses are designed to meet Tennessee licensure requirements. If you choose to go into secondary education you will be expected to complete a teaching major in the content subject or area in which you plan to teach. You may also elect to complete state requirements for endorsement in additional high school subjects. Undergraduate students completing K-8 programs may work toward either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree.
