I'm a Georgia native, in my junior year, and really intrigued by the prospect of pursuing an Education Major. Does anyone know which colleges in Georgia have a standout Education program?
There are several colleges in Georgia that offer an excellent Education program. Here are a couple you might want to consider:
1. University of Georgia (UGA): UGA's College of Education is highly esteemed and offers students an array of concentrations within the Education Major. A special feature is that there are opportunities for students to conduct research and work closely with faculty members as an undergrad.
2. Kennesaw State University: Kennesaw State's Bagwell College of Education is known for its commitment to high-quality, field-based teacher preparation. The college provides comprehensive teacher preparation programs and several opportunities for hands-on classroom experience.
3. Georgia State University: Georgia State’s College of Education & Human Development offers diverse programs and an urban education focus. It also encourages substantial classroom experience early in the program.
4. Georgia Southern University: Georgia Southern's College of Education offers a range of teaching degrees and has a very strong reputation. The College focuses on both theory, practice and experiential learning, with multiple avenues for gaining practical classroom experience.
5. Mercer University: Mercer's Tift College of Education is another highly respected college offering wide-ranging programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. They incorporate a high level of classroom engagement from early in the program.
As you look into these, I would recommend looking at the specific courses offered, the faculty, options for gaining hands-on classroom experience, and what their alumni are doing. It would also be beneficial to explore possible scholarship opportunities at these colleges.
