The online Bachelor of Educational Studies (BES) degree program coordinated by the LTC program area is the undergraduate option for individuals who want to teach or work in workforce education. The degree program is designed for people who plan to work with adult learners at community colleges, workforce development programs, and continuing professional education programs. It is intended to prepare students to become effective educational professionals by providing not only the traditional broad-based education of a 4-year degree, but also a foundation in curriculum design, teaching methods, and other aspects of the field of adult education.
