A Focus on High-need Areas
The Lake Superior State University School of Education is shifting our focus, and committing our resources, to preparing high quality teachers in high-needs areas. Specifically, we will focus on preparing new certified teachers in the critically important STEM fields (science technology, mathematics and science) and Early/Special Education. Current students (those having completed EDUC150 by the end of Spring 2012) may continue in their declared teaching majors and minors as planned (degree audits prior to Spring 2012).
The table below provides the degree audits for the current programs - the most recent program is listed first in each box.
