Youth and 社区 Development
The 教育学院 (COE) understands that the role of professional educators extends beyond the traditional classroom. Through the COE’s newest major—Youth and 社区 Development (YCD)—students are prepared to be well-informed advocates for high-quality educational and outreach practices in community settings. In addition to 39 hours of professional education coursework, students select a concentration area to provide more in-depth knowledge.
这六个领域包括:
- Sociology with an emphasis in Social Work
- 体育教练
- Organizational Leadership and 沟通
- 艺术管理
- 博物馆研究
- Entrepreneurship and 创新
The capstone experience in the senior year, similar to student teaching, is a full-time internship that aligns with both the major and the area of concentration.
Organizations hire our graduates for positions in museums, nonprofit youth organizations, educational policy roles, recreation and sports programs, 还有社区中心.
