Education
The study of education at New England College contains two options: 1) Educational Studies and 2)
Teacher Certification. Upon entering the Education Program all students are considered to be Education
majors. Students choose either the Educational Studies path or the Certification path. In order to apply to
the Teacher Certification path students use the process described below. Students who decide that they
want to work in educational settings in roles other than state certified teachers (e.g. teaching assistants,
educators in the public sector – a museum, a not-for profit organization, educators in private schools, etc.)
may choose the Educational Studies path for their program. Students who choose the Educational Studies
portion of the program will work with their advisors and the Associate Dean of Education to tailor their
program to meet their career goals.
