Early Childhood: There is an increased demand for quality

teachers in private and Head Start childcare facilities as well

as pre­schools in the public school systems across the

country. In order to ensure the experience provides a quality 

education for young children, it is imperative that individuals

receive a broad, solid foundation of knowledge in the field of

early childhood education. Coursework may also support

certification extensions.

Intercultural Educator: With rapid internationalization, there is an

increase in intercultural schools, classrooms, events, communities, and

businesses. Individuals with the ability to navigate and lead within these

settings smoothly will be in increased demand. These courses will enable

the student to begin to develop a greater understanding of the normality of

diversity in the daily lives of society.

Language Acquisition: The ability to gain a greater understanding of how we begin to recognize

and understand language and use words and sentences in that language to communicate is a critical

part the educational process. The Language Acquisition concentration will provide students with the

most current theories and best practices on how to begin to understand and produce language.

Leadership in Education: Leadership is in everyone. It is also

needed in almost every interaction we have in our professional lives.

As an educator, we will likely find ourselves in a position where we

have the ability to influence change within that setting. This

concentration is designed to provide participants with the knowledge

to not only understand the dynamics of an organization and change,

but to support personal growth and understanding of the leader within

themselves and the role that plays in a professional setting.

Human Resource Educator: People, in any organization, are the

essence of what makes up key outcomes. Each contribution

(positive or negative) is pivotal to the daily operations of the entity in

which they belong. Understanding human needs in the context of

both personal and professional is at the core of these courses. This

concentration will introduce concepts related to conflict resolution

and strategies related to the development of members of the

organization.Technology Educator: Education today involves complex learning

environments that involve digital tools and materials. It is critical that

teachers have the skills and access to resources needed to provide an

effective 21st Century education for their students. The courses in this

focus area provide a foundation from which professionals can build and

facilitate high quality learning environments for their students.

Wilderness Education: This concentration is for those that have an interest in becoming

professionals in Wilderness Education either in a Higher Education setting, public school setting,

and more.  This concentration will include coursework, as well as a specialized internship

program.
