Center for Urban Education in the News
Our Center for Urban Education bachelor’s degree with licensure programs were featured in the Denver Post for their focus on practical classroom experience.
Gain the experience of working in a classroom while you study for your college degree.
The Center has teacher preparation degree programs that lead to Colorado licensure in elementary, early childhood, and special education. But it is more than that – it is a place where traditional scholarship meets a rich real-world experience in a metropolitan area school classroom – a place where students find a home for learning and growing as teaching professionals.
The bachelor’s degree program prepares students to be elementary, special education or early childhood teachers in contemporary schools and provides the opportunity to immediately apply what they learn in their college courses. Throughout the four-year program, students spend weekday mornings in K-12 classrooms as part of apprenticeships that are supervised by veteran teachers.
