Teacher education candidates in a secondary education program complete a rigorous program of study in the academic major and professional education courses. Secondary education programs are accredited by the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation and approved by the Maryland State Department of Education for secondary school teacher certification (Grades 7-12). If you already have an undergraduate degree, you may want to check out our M.A.T program.
