Bachelor of Science, Secondary English Four-Year Plan
The Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education (English Concentration) at Southeastern University prepares graduates to teach 6th through 12th-grade students to become critical readers and effective writers, equipping them with knowledge of different cultures, empathy for others, and a critical perspective about themselves. Through hands-on coursework, you’ll read classic British and American works along with contemporary and adolescent literature, gaining lecture and peer discussion techniques to teach these works and other relevant selections. Your degree will culminate in the completion of a semester-long student teaching internship, where you’ll plan and teach the curriculum as well as manage and assess learners.
State Approval/Reciprocity
All teacher education programs have met requirements for Florida State Approved Programs.
Students who plan to teach in Florida schools must file an application with the Office of Teacher Certification for the State of Florida and complete the post-degree requirements for the teaching credential.
Students graduating from Florida state-approved teacher certification programs are currently eligible for initial certification to teach in all members of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC), an interstate reciprocity contract allowing certified teachers to obtain teaching jobs in other states and territories. An applicant’s eligibility for certification according to the interstate agreement contract will be determined after the application for a Florida teaching certificate is on file in the Teacher Certification Office.
