Overview

The Education for Instruction major from Jacksonville University is designed to allow students a strong liberal arts experience, coupled with interdisciplinary classes across campus. You'll have the chance to participate in internships, independent studies, and community service opportunities designed to meet your individual goals of being a change agent in your community.

Graduates are prepared to fill in-demand positions, providing front-line education, curriculum development, instruction, presentations, and leadership in all aspects of community development.

The Education for Instruction major includes a core of classes designed to provide the foundational principles and practices of education. Students select one of three concentrations to complete the degree.

Major Concentrations

Literacy Education. The concentration in literacy unlocks the magic of reading. Most people don't even think about how we learn to read. This concentration teaches you the foundational practices of developing young readers.

TESOL Education. The TESOL concentration focuses on teaching English as a second language. There are many opportunities to travel the world and help others gain fluency in the English language. This concentration prepares JU students for that adventure.

Community Education. The Community Education concentration is a service-learning based program that takes learning beyond the classroom. Framed around specific coursework, students work with children, military personnel, and nonprofit organizations to increase literacy, raise awareness of nonprofits, and build community. This can be combined with JU's Service Learning certificate or minor.
