Concentration Description
Students in the undergraduate concentration in Education hone their own academic skills that they will later teach to others, and they take methods courses that lay a good foundation for teaching. The bachelor’s degree provides opportunity to explore and build a strong knowledge base in the area in which graduates aim to teach.
A Key Element in Your Bachelor’s Degree. The Education concentration is accepted in any Cambridge College bachelor’s degree, as open electives.
