The Department of Workforce Education provides and administers programs and experiences aimed at meeting the needs of two groups of students: pre-service personnel and in-service personnel. The pre-service programs are designed primarily to prepare persons to enter the chosen field of employment for the first time. The in-service programs are designed primarily for persons who are already employed and who need training or retraining in order to upgrade their professional preparation to maintain their current job or to develop new competencies in order to obtain employment in new jobs.
The programs in the department prepare individuals primarily to teach, coordinate, supervise, and administer career and technical education programs in public and private schools and agencies. The programs are designed for entry into the field of education and to enhance the opportunities for employment various organizations.
Qualified applicants who meet the minimum requirements for admission to the university may pursue:
1) Baccalaureate degrees in Business Education, Technology Education and Office Administration
2) Master’s degrees in Business Education, Technology Education; and
3) Certification in Business Education. Admission Requirements: Admission in each program must be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Records. Admission is granted to either a degree-seeking student or to a special student who does not wish to study for a degree. Any undergraduate student admitted without two years of one foreign language or American sign language or the equivalent of such instruction at the post secondary level (except those exempted in Rule 6.004(1)C, FAC) must complete eight semester hours in one foreign language prior to graduation.
