In the secondary education program, students earn a degree in a certifiable major while preparing for licensure in UW-Parkside's Educator Preparation Program. A major in an academic content area, combined with a professional license, provides new educators with a depth and breadth of content knowledge and a wide-range of pedagogical skills. As a result, they are better equipped to create powerful teaching and learning experiences in diverse classrooms using 21st century skills.

The Educator Preparation licensure programs are approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI). These programs meet the requirements of Wisconsin's PI34 rules for Teacher Education Program Approval and Licenses.
