Recommended Course Sequence in Education

The curriculum of Education students is a blend of professional studies, subject area concentrations, and the liberal arts; consequently, student course load is a reflection of Education courses, courses in the areas of concentration and courses from the DelVal Core Curriculum. Before registering each semester, students should consult with their Education Advisor as well as their content area advisor when choosing courses. All candidates for certification are required to complete 190 hours of field experience before student teaching as required by Pennsylvania Department of Education.
