Degree Overview
This degree is offered by the College of Education, the highest-ranked academic unit at the University of Oregon. International students from all over the world study in College of Education majors. Upon graduation, students pursue careers as teachers, special educators, administrators, human service providers, or clinicians.
About the major
Students in the the educational foundations program are committed to social change. This major prepares aspiring future professionals in education and related fields to be critical thinkers, well informed about theory and practice, and to possess the knowledge and skills that will enable them to be change agents in economically, racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse communities.
The major is designed as a two-year program completed during the undergraduate junior and senior year. This is a pre-professional degree, and while the major does not result in a teaching license, it does prepare graduates for teacher certification programs. Students planning on becoming elementary teachers typically begin with a pre-education major, while students who want to be middle or high school teachers major in the subject area they want to teach and complete an educational foundations certificate.
