This program is purposefully and specifically designed to attract and prepare diverse teachers in Central Oregon. Students will select one of three emphasis areas that are considered high need in both Central Oregon and the nation: English as a Second Language; Special Education; or Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Students will complete one course in each of the three emphasis areas as a foundational part of their core coursework and take an additional two courses in one area. The program requirement will result in 9 credits that can support future endorsement completion and/or job placement.
