My education “degree” is not a degree at all, but an EMPHASIS.

My degree is in history, what I intended to teach. I had to do a thesis and learn how to analyze arguments, research etc. It was not a pud program.

The education classes were just in addition.

Unless you are elementary, I don’t know anybody with an education “degree.” The degree is in the subject you are teaching.

Good for you. That is exactly the right course of study. Now if the kiddos don’t drive you batty...

I have seen too many science ed and math ed degrees that did not have a BS in either math or science. These are a disservice to everyone.

I earned a B.S. in Early Childhood Education as well as a Masters in Collaborative Special Education, which focuses on diagnosing reading difficulties, assessing students with disabilities, meeting the needs of students with a variety of physical and intellectual disabilities, managing inappropriate behavior, and complying with complex federal laws. My college work was both rigorous and challenging. This doesn’t make me a rocket scientist, but it makes me no less a college graduate.
