Chris are you interested in any specific program?
The reason why I wanted to start off this way with this presentation is because our college is very graduate program heavy. So my first few slides I will definitely go over those graduate programs because that is something you may be interested in. Once you're done with your undergraduate program. So let's just go ahead and get started. Like Lee said, I'm Ryan Morris. I worked with the College of Education and Human Services and again, thank you guys so much for.
Joining us today. So here's the current Department we have in the college. We've got educational leadership, human development, counseling, Human Services, social work and teacher education. So the 1st three departments are programs on this list are graduate level programs, so that is why I said we're very, very much a graduate heavy graduate level heavy college, but looks like several of you are interested in the teacher education program.

And so I will be happy to go into more depth when we get to those slides. So just a couple little brief overview of our educational leadership graduate programs. We've got 2 Masters that we offer in that. Those programs. We've got a Masters in educational leadership and those for you. Of you who are interested in the teacher education program at the undergraduate level, we have this option for you to come back.
And receive your principle preparation along with the Masters in arts and educational leadership. So that will give you the ability to prepare A to be prepared for the principle endorsement actually.
And then we have the Master of Arts in Education, which is a fully online program, something I'd like to point out about. Both of these is that they neither one of 'em you you do not have to have a teaching background or teaching degree to be admitted to either one of these programs. So there they are open to anyone you, as long as you meet the admissions requirements.
Along with those two Masters programs, there are several options that you that we offer to either get a graduate certificate in Oregon to add on to your professional educator license, and so there's two of them that are post Masters, which is the school business official and then the other one is the Superintendent. So those will you would have to have your Masters degree in order to pursue.
And then the other ones you would just have to have a bachelors degree so you could come back and get an endorsement in English as a second language, K through 12 edtech specialist, and then to the main popular ones are the principle endorsement and then the learning Babe behavior specialist, which is the special Ed so.
So those were not offered at the undergraduate level, but once you obtain your your degree and your certificate teacher certificate, you can come back and add on these these certificates an endorsement.
So the potential career paths in the educational leadership, the Masters in educational leadership, our assistant, and like I said, there's the principle option in there that you could pursue your endorsement in the principle, but there could be deemed students or Department chair at the at a college level or whatever that may take you. We said we also have the Masters in education.
And here are some potential career paths that you could take with that Masters degree.
That Community College instructors instructional technology coordinator. As many corporate trainers have this degree. So if you're interested in education or training but not necessarily in the classroom, K through 12, this would be another option for you.
OK, moving along to one of our other graduate programs is a human development counseling program.
There's three areas of concentration in this in this clinical mental health counseling marriage couple and family counseling and school counseling. So again, any of you that are interested in the education field there is that school counseling option in our human development counseling program, so you would apply for the Masters program and then choose a school counseling option and that takes you along the track to become a certified school counselor.
And there's it's pretty self explanatory explanatory with a counseling degree. What career paths that may lead you into. But here's a list. Like I said, you can be a teacher, counselor, administrator in the school. You could be in a mental health agencies, higher education teachers, admins, career counselors. Many counselors are also in the hospitals. As chaplains, therapists, and administrators.
And the last graduate program that we're going to talk about today is a Human Services program. This is an actual Masters of Arts and Human Services, and there's four areas of concentration that you will choose from in this program. Yeah, alcohol and substance abuse, child and family studies, gerontology and social Social Service administration. That program right now is fully online. That social service admin.
Concentration is fully on line and we're working towards moving a lot of these programs online to make it more convenient, specially for working professionals.
And if you are interested in what kind of careers there may be for the Human Services field, it's generally anything you could possibly do, but it really kind of depends on your concentration, but here's a list of some future career path that you may have with a Human Services degree.

Both Education and Social Work Undergraduate Programs will set you up nicely to enter any of our Graduate Programs.
Alright, moving on to our undergraduate programs we have Bachelors of Social Work.
In this program it's a. It includes a 400 hour supervised field work experience and it is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. So this is a great degree if you're looking into a helping field. Not quite sure what you want to do with that yet, but this is a really good start.
This would be a good degree also to segue into the Human Services Masters program or even even the counseling program as well, but the possibilities are virtually endless with the bachelors degree so that you can see the list probably doesn't cover even partly everything that there is out there that you could do with this degree. But you could go into aging services, substance abuse programs, veteran services.
Services, domestic violence programs etc.
OK both, I'm sorry. So then it looks like most of you are pretty much interested in the undergraduate program for teacher education, and so we've got two majors currently in this. In this Department. We've got the Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, which covers kindergarten through 6th grade. And then we've got the Bachelor of Arts and Middle Grades Education.
Which is 5th through 8th grade.
Currently we offer a minor in secondary education so that would cover your high school years 9 through 12. So you would have to major in an undergraduate degree in an actual degree. That would be your concentration. So for example you could do.
You know social Sciences, history, English, those math or those would be. You would have to pick something that would be your area of concentration and then you dad on the minor to to obtain the requirements in order to apply for your license educators license. Then I think most of you are freshmen will be new freshman or transfer students. But there is an option for in case you do decide to go in another direction and then come back though.
I want to be a teacher. We do have that option as well, so those who already have a bachelors degree but want to come back and fulfill their requirements and apply for teacher licensure, we have those options as well. For all three areas, elementary, middle and secondary. All these licensure programs are approved by the Illinois State Board of Education.
I just went over this so it's like I said the post Baccalaureates are available to those who already have a bachelors degree or higher and want to enter the field of teaching.

Currently, we offer secondary licensure in English, Math, Science, History and other social sciences
We do have a wonderful program called the Prairie Area Teaching Initiative. We have excellent director of that program who recruits future students that are either financially challenged 1st Gen students. Students who reflect racial cultural diversity. Those are main targets for the for this program and it is a very selective program because the students or candidates who are selected receive full tuition waivers.
Book stipends and academic and advising support, so that's a wonderful program that you could look into as well. If you meet some of those requirements.
