SBE Announces New Teacher Certification Program
By Laura Walikainen
Michigan Tech
is now offering a certification program in business education. "We'll be
graduating teachers who are full business majors," said Brad Wagner,
coordinator of academic services for the School of Business and Economics.
"This sets our graduates apart from students in other schools." The new certification
is geared toward a variety of students--or potential students. "This program
is ideal for those who already have completed a business degree and would
like to be certified to teach, for students who are close to graduating
and would like to add a teaching certification and for students who are
just beginning their study of business," Wagner said. The University
graduates teachers who earn a bachelor's degree in their teaching specialty,
plus a state certification. These programs help assure that America's
secondary school teachers have a solid foundation of knowledge in their
subject area. "Michigan
Tech has graduated some great teachers in the last few years," Wagner
said. "Our students are going to be highly qualified, well-prepared
professionals who want to contribute to our society by becoming teachers. "I think
that the future of high school business education is a bright one."
