The Business, Computer and Information Technology Teacher Education major prepares teachers to teach business and office education subjects for elementary, middle school, and high school. The program is designed to help students acquire competencies in liberal arts, business foundations, and professional studies. This comprehensive certificate (K-12) prepares students to teach office technology, programming, accounting, entrepreneurship, business law, general business, software applications, business communications, keyboarding, marketing and management.

Practical applications of teaching competencies are made during the professional semester - a full-time block of studies that includes micro-teaching, methods of developing and achieving performance objectives, and supervised student teaching in an approved school.

A student completing the studies and field experiences of the program will be able to demonstrate:

competency in business subjects,
effective communication skills,
skills for self-initiated learning,
effective interpersonal relationships,
appropriate strategies leading to effective action in new situations, and
competency in designing instructional systems for individualized learning.
