BS in Education

Overview

The BS in Education aims at offering prospective students the necessary breadth and depth required upon graduation. The program is tailored to recent high school graduates. The core courses in Education provide students with a comprehensive overview of the social and psychological foundations of the discipline.  They also contribute to the development of in-depth knowledge and professional skills needed by any teacher, building on both, theory and practice. The subject matter courses, methods and practice teaching courses are specialized and prepare students in content and in methods of teaching specific subjects at specific levels of schooling. 

As part of the BS, students can take part in the various activities offered by the STEM Lab, equipped with the latest teaching materials allowing students to develop and practice engaging STEM learning activities. We thrive to empower prospective teachers’ empathy and creativity, to support them in empowering the future generation of leaders.
