BEd Secondary Education

The Institute for Teacher Education (ITE) offers undergraduate degrees in elementary and secondary education (BEd), a post-baccalaureate certificate in secondary education (PBCSE), an advanced degree in teaching (MEdT), and state-approved teacher education programs (SATEPs) in elementary and secondary education.Elementary and secondary BEd students may be able to enroll in programs that can lead to recommendation to the state for dual licensure, such as elementary or secondary and special education licensure, elementary and multilingual learning licensure, elementary and early childhood (PK-3) licensure, or early childhood and early childhood special education licensure. All ITE programs focus on the educational needs of children and adolescents, teaching, learning, and curriculum. The students at UH M noa are ethnically diverse as are the students in Hawai i s school system. Students in ITE programs, therefore, learn and teach in a unique multicultural environment.
