Dean Kathy Schultz spoke with KOA radio about听two new degree options coming soon to the School of Education鈥� a bachelor鈥檚 degree in elementary education and a bachelor鈥檚 degree in leadership and community engagement.
"There is a great need for the elementary education major clearly because of the teacher shortage across the state," she said.听"In addition to a regular elementary听education degree,听we've been able to add the endorsement for teaching in culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms.听This is a going to fill a real need in Colorado and across the country."
The听Leadership and Community Engagement is also serving great needs and interests from students.
"Our Leadership and Community Engagement Major will be one of its kind," she said. "There are very few of these majors across the country and there's a real interest among young people in working in community and non-profit organizations, in international development听and urban planning, and this program will help them do that."
