Programs
Our program is built on partnerships with the local school districts that allow future teachers to gain experience in real schools with real students from the very beginning of the program. In Colorado, Bachelor degrees are not awarded in general education, so in order to obtain a teaching license you will earn a bachelor’s degree in a content area.
Contact Prof. Donna Cooner for more information
In conjunction with the School of Education, the College of Agricultural Sciences provides an interdisciplinary undergraduate program that leads to a Bachelor of Science and a teaching license in Agricultural Education.
Contact Ms. Kellie Enns for more information.
This teacher education program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Computing Technology with a concentration in computing education (K-12 technology education) with state licensure in Instructional Technology (Computers) and provides students with a background in education, computer programming, and computer systems to enable graduates to teach computing principles and serve as computing technology experts in public schools. Graduates of this program will be capable of teaching a broad range of computing technology: computer applications, web development, and programming, including AP computer science courses. They will also be capable of providing expert information technology support for schools for instructional and administrative purposes.
Contact Mr. James Peterson or Dr. James Folkestad for more information.
The engineering education concentration provides students with the engineering and teaching experience to enter junior and senior high school laboratories to teach engineering design principles and concepts in an exciting technology education classroom. The technical electives are chosen predominantly from the departments of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Civil Engineering.
Contact Dr. Michael De Miranda or Dr. Tom Siller for more information.
Master of Natural Sciences Education
The new Master of Natural Sciences Education degree is in the works and may be available as soon as Fall 2009.
Contact Dr. Don Mykles for more information.
Mathematics Education is a professionally oriented program designed to prepare students for a secondary teaching certificate in Mathematics. Students in this concentration take a strong mathematics core, including the proofs-oriented course in advanced calculus required in the other concentrations. The program aims to prepare leaders in secondary education.

The Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences, BSNS, degree which provides undergraduates with the subject matter, the education classes, and the classroom experience required for secondary science education licensure in Colorado. Graduates with licensure in secondary science education find a strong demand for high school and junior high or middle school teachers in Colorado and elsewhere in the nation. In addition, these graduates will also have the background required for graduate science education programs. Concentrations in the natural sciences major include: biology education; chemistry education; geology education; and physics education.

Colorado Alliance for Minority Participation (CO-AMP)
CO-AMP encourages African American, Hispanic, and American Indian and Pacific Islander students to pursue baccalaureate degrees specifically in the STEM disciplines to complete such degrees, and to enter the work force or pursue graduate study.
Contact Dr. Omnia El-Hakim for more information
Bridges to the Doctorate provides financial support to 12 CO-AMP students to make graduate school feasible. Bridges also builds infrastructure and community within a welcoming social and professional network in STEM disciplines.
Colorado Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) Program
AGEP strives to enhance and improve the way underrepresented doctoral students are recruited, retained and graduated in Colorado. CO-AMP and AGEP/PEAKS Alliances are working collaboratively to place underrepresented students in graduate school and obtain doctoral degrees.
