Education Major Curriculum

Our Upside-Down Curriculum allows you to begin taking your Education classes beginning in your first semester. This gives you an exceptional amount of time to gain critical firsthand experience, allowing you to take concepts directly from your Champlain classrooms into your student-teaching classrooms.

Depending on your preferred grade levels and subject areas, you may be able to choose more than one concentration. You'll work closely with your Faculty Advisor to explore your interests, choose your concentration(s), and create the ideal pathway into the teaching career you envision.
