Health and Consumer Science Concentration
Those pursuing a career in teaching enroll in the state certified and nationally accredited health and consumer science concentration that prepares students to become teachers of elementary or secondary health/family and consumer science education. Candidates for teacher certification in Massachusetts must take and pass the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL). A unique opportunity is afforded the prospective teacher to gain practical experience with students in public school settings through courses with pre-practicum components.
