If you are interested in a rewarding career as an elementary teacher, the BA in Elementary Education with the added endorsement in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education provides an engaging and exciting path. We prepare teachers who are committed to ensuring every student learns and excels.
The BA in Leadership and Community Engagement prepares ethical and culturally competent leaders who collaborate with community partners to tackle society’s big challenges. You will take part in one of the only degree programs of its kind in Colorado as part of a small number of emerging community engagement degrees nationwide.
If you are interested in education but not necessarily classroom teaching, this minor will allow you to study more deeply how political, cultural, social, and historical dynamics shape policy and practice in education, understand issues of equity and social justice, and prepare you to work in informal educational settings.
Whether you plan to lead a start-up, be a community organizer, found a non-profit, serve in the military, or run for office, the Leadership Studies Minor will help you develop as a leader. You will explore the academic research about leadership and will apply your leadership practice as a CU Boulder student.
You will develop a better understanding of the social, political, and cultural factors influencing our diverse world in this BA/MA Concurrent Degree Program allowing an efficient and rigorous path toward earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Ethnic Studies and a Master’s Degree in Education in just five years.
