<p>What about the other majors like education, sports, psychology?</p>
<p>Most schools no longer offer “Education” as a major. This is because states have required teacher preparation programs to focus more on the academic content teachers will teach, instead of “how to teach” types of coursework. If you want to teach, think about WHERE you want to live after college, since that will be the state you get your first teaching certification from. Maryland public schools rank very highly over all. So do Massachusetts, Connecticut. You may want to look at states that pay teachers very well, since you need to afford to live. Psychology you can pretty much study anywhere, and will need to continue for at least a Master’s degree to really work in the field. Insurance is changing the way counseling will be handled in the very near future, for the entire country, and it’s going to be the very rare patient that gets 50 mins of talk therapy every week, if that’s the field you were considering.</p>
<p>What are the majors commonly taken by the ones who hope to go on to elementary-school teaching certification programs?</p>
<p>I know for a fact, however, that my own province still offers education as a major, though. And then you can do special ed, elementary ed, high-school ed (it still has ~60 credits of “how-to-teach” classes) or trade-school ed.</p>
<p>If you want to be a teacher, your best bets may be schools in the state where you want to work. </p>
<p>What is your home state? </p>
<p>I’m not sure what Teachandmom means. Many schools still have Colleges of Education and many still offer Elementary Education as a major. </p>
<p>For secondary education, concentrating on a subject is usually required…the majors are things like: Secondary Math Education, Secondary Science Education, etc.</p>
<p>Many states require students majoring in Education to also double major in a classroom content area (Math, English, etc.). For several years now in NJ, for example, Education has not been a stand-alone undergraduate major. I’m sure these rules vary from state. The best choice of of education program, as Teachandmom said, would be the one that allows you to work where you want to live (i.e. fulfills that state’s certification requirements). There is no nationwide standardization in this area.</p>
