Adolescent/Young Adult & Secondary Education at Bowling Green State University
Bachelor of Science in Education
College of Education and Human Development
Social studies, mathematics, language arts, and science are specializations within the Adolescent and Young Adult major. The programs prepare graduates to teach these subjects in
grades 7-12, and to obtain an Adolescent / Young Adult teaching license in the chosen area of study. Each program provides
students with a wide variety of experiences that will enable them to become effective teachers. Students in the program complete
extensive coursework pertaining to their chosen field of study.
Knowledge of these areas is only part of the program. Emphasis is also placed on how to teach in today’s schools. Included
in the curriculum are courses that lead to the development of human relations skills, innovative instructional methods, and
methods for working with students in urban, suburban, and rural school settings.

Career Opportunities
The primary career objective for secondary education majors is to obtain an Adolescent / Young Adult teaching license enabling
them to teach in middle, junior, or senior high school.
Many career opportunities are available in addition to teaching. Because secondary education majors have a strong educational
background, they often qualify for non-teaching careers as well. The development of management and human relations skills
through professional education coursework also enhances credentials. Graduates are well prepared to pursue a variety of graduate
programs both in and outside the field of education.
