IUP's reputation in English education is recognized in Pennsylvania and beyond for excellence in preparing teachers for today's classrooms, for future graduate studies, and for a lifelong professional career.
The BSEd in English education certifies graduates to teach secondary English in Pennsylvania and at least 33 other states.
Graduates planning to seek employment in a state other than Pennsylvania are advised to check the specific requirements for that state.
English education majors fulfill all the requirements for state certification, including
- practical experience in methods courses and 15 weeks as a student teacher;
- content preparation in a variety of literature, language, and composition courses; and
- philosophical background in current theories of teaching.
Although most students choosing an English Education major will be best prepared for the secondary school classroom, those who opt not to teach will find their speaking, writing, and management skills may also be applied to jobs in the media and in business.
