The Education Double Degree in teacher education is an undergraduate pathway to teacher preparation available to all OSU students. The BA/BS in Education can only be obtained in conjunction with a BA/BS in a student’s chosen field.

The Double Degree program has two stages. The first stage, Pre-Education, allows students to take foundational education courses and required content-specific classes without prerequisites. These classes can meet baccalaureate core requirements and elective credits. The second stage, Professional Level, consists of 38-40 credits in Elementary Education or Secondary Education (Middle/High School). The Professional Level includes pedagogy classes and student teaching. Students earn their second degree (Education BS/BA) and simultaneously earn an Oregon Preliminary Teaching License in their chosen content area.

Note: Spring term courses are offered exclusively through Ecampus to accommodate all student teaching placements. The College of Education will apply the tuition difference to students as a stipend to apply to administration and licensure testing fees.
