Technology education
 The college is one of only two places in the state where you can take
licensure courses to teach in Minnesota’s technical colleges and at middle
schools and high schools (grades 5-12). Students can pursue teacher licensure
at either the undergraduate level (B.S.) or graduate level (M.Ed.). A certificate
in career and technical
education also is available.
As part of a program that is ranked third in the nation (U.S. News
and World Report), the vocational-technical program of study prepares
educators to teach students at the technical college level or the middle
school and high school level. You can learn to instruct students preparing
for specific occupations in a wide variety of fields such as mechanics,
carpentry, dental assisting, practical nursing, data processing, and other
skilled professions. More than 400 students are enrolled in these teacher
education programs each year and find themselves in high demand as instructors.
This field of study often attracts individuals who have been working in
a related occupation and want to share their expertise in a classroom setting.
The certificate program will be useful to current instructors and those
preparing to teach in technical and community colleges, or individuals seeking
a credential for workplace advancement.
