Public School Teaching Pathways

This 4+1 program leads to a joint bachelor’s and master’s degree with initial licensure to teach in Massachusetts public schools in biology, English, history, math, physical education and Spanish.

Education Careers Outside of Public School Teaching

Bachelor of Science, Early Education and Care

Early education and care prepares you to work with young children from birth to eight years old outside the public school system. Students can focus on becoming a lead preschool teacher or administrator, preparing to be an early intervention specialist, building the skills to open an at-home child care, or advancing in their current careers.
