Overview

During their first course, students observe in the classrooms of local schools. Throughout the Education and Social Change program from Transylvania University work they participate in a variety of teaching experiences, including a four-week May term practicum that allows them to spend full days in a P–12 classroom. This hands-on approach is capped by a semester of student teaching completed in a public school during the senior year. Many of these opportunities are made possible by Transylvania’s location in downtown Lexington, which puts students in close proximity to both public and private elementary, middle and high schools.

This major does not lead to teacher certification. Rather, it is for students considering graduate level work to become teachers, speech therapists, or school psychologists. Others may have an interest in journalism or drama, and some want to be better informed about education as citizens and future parents.
