Welcome to Undergraduate Studies
About our Program
What makes our teacher education program one of the best in the country? It really comes down to our philosophy of growing the finest teachers possible. Everything we do is designed to fulfill that philosophy, from our outstanding Faculty to the breadth of our programs, the students we accept, to the teachers who will mentor them.
As we see it, when we meet that commitment, we serve our deeper dedication to educating students who will have the good fortune of learning from a U of L Faculty of Education graduate.
The teacher education program can be completed in two ways:
- The Combined Degrees Program is a five year program which results in the simultaneous granting of two degrees
- If you already have a degree, you may be eligible for the After Degree B.Ed. Program
