BSEd in Secondary Education

Loyola University of Chicago

In Loyola's bachelor of science in secondary education program, you'll earn a bachelor's in secondary education and a bachelor of science or bachelor of arts an additional subject area. You'll obtain licensure to teach in English, history, math, political science, or psychology. Students choosing political science or psychology as their additional subject area are also required to complete a minor in history. All of Loyola’s Bachelor of Science in Education (BSEd) degrees use the Teaching, Learning, and Leading with Schools and Communities (TLLSC) curriculum as its foundation. It’s an approach that will help you stand out when you’re searching for your first job. The TLLSC curriculum focuses on hands-on learning. Your studies will be built around four Cornerstones-partnering with schools and communities, classroom diversity, ongoing classroom experience, and participating in professional learning communities. As you learn and grow, you’ll progress through the three Phases of the program. These phases will guide you through a comprehensive experience that will prepare you to make a difference with learners in diverse settings. You'll develop a deep understanding of both content and pedagogy to provide developmentally appropriate instruction to all students. Plus, you'll have multiple opportunities to engage with diverse populations, including students with special needs and those labeled as English language learners.
