Program description

This teaching field prepares the student to teach psychology at the secondary level (middle and high school).

Psychology is not available as a stand-alone BSE degree. In order to complete and receive a psychology education teaching credential, psychology education must be combined with another teaching field.

How do you become a psychology teacher through ESU?

The teacher education program available for students wanting to teach at the secondary level – meaning junior high, middle, or high school – is a joint responsibility of this department and the department overseeing middle and secondary education.
