Bachelor of Arts
Education is our passport to the future.
Are you a critical thinker with effective writing skills and a desire to teach young people? If so, you may be interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education.
The teacher education program at Regis College actively engages teacher candidates in collaborative, reflective, and challenging learning experiences that wholly develop their capabilities as committed, caring, and qualified educators. Education students are actively involved in urban and diverse field experiences beginning with their introductory education courses.
In addition to completing your Bachelor’s degree in your major, and licensure in Secondary Education, you will also complete the required coursework for a Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education Endorsement and have the option to take the coursework for the Special Education: Generalist Endorsement. Your plan of study is fully integrated within the liberal arts and you will participate in the Jesuit educational experience, taking classes on the Lowell Campus, experiencing what teaching is in our diverse local schools, and working with your advisors to create a learning path that supports your goals.

Licensure Content Areas
Students major in a content area and complete additional course work that qualifies them to sit for the licensure examination in that content area. There are specific content areas allowed for secondary licensure in the state of Colorado: Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Business, and Science.
Student Teaching
Regis has over 100 partner schools and will work to pair you with the right grade level in a supportive atmosphere for your student teaching experience. Students must pass the state-required licensing exam (PRAXIS) and complete a total of 200 field hours before applying to student teaching. Students should expect to complete 1-3 field hours per week while enrolled in the program.
Initial Licensure
As a part of the program, you must successfully take the state licensure examination to student teach in one of our partner schools. We will support and recommend you through this process. After completing your field hours in a Colorado school and upon completion of student teaching, you can apply for licensure in Colorado through the Colorado Department of Education with our recommendation.
