Education - Middle Grade Science

The Middle Grades Education Program is ideal for students who are eager to work with growing minds and daily changes. When teaching middle grades students, who are discovering who they are and what they want to do with their lives, there is rarely a dull moment in the classroom. The program prepares highly qualified teachers that will earn a Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S. Ed.) with a specific subject in 4-8 certification. Supplemental certification may be added in English as a Second Language.

Middle Grade majors include:

  • Middle Grade English, Language Arts, and Reading
  • Middle Grade Mathematics
  • Middle Grade Science
  • Middle Grade Social Studies

The School of Education offers a unique experience for Teacher Education majors. Unlike other programs, Baylor's School of Education offers seven semesters of hands-on experience in the classroom. The program builds upon the classroom knowledge and the students are given increasing responsibility each semester. By the students' senior year, they are teaching full time during the fall and spring semesters. Several schools in Waco partner with the Baylor School of Education to provide field experience for Teacher Education majors.

Other available School of Education programs include:

  • Elementary Education
  • Secondary Education
    • Biology
    • Business (BBA)
    • English, Language Arts, and Reading
    • Health Science Studies
    • History

Teacher Certification is also offered through Math, Biology, History, Family Sciences and Health Science Studies majors.

Education majors can participate in four study abroad opportunities. All trips involve working in host-country schools alongside a Baylor School of Education faculty member.
