The English education B.S. degree program prepares students to teach English
at the secondary level. The program focuses on preparing prospective teachers
for the challenges of teaching students from a broad range of educational and
cultural backgrounds. Drawing upon Ferris State University's traditional areas
of strength within teacher preparation, the program will prepare students to
teach in vocational-technical centers, alternative and magnet schools, tech-prep
programs within traditional high schools, and in other non-traditional
educational settings. Entrance Requirement: 2.5 HSGPA AND ACT English
subscore of 18.
Progression Standards:Students must achieve a
minimum of B in English 150 and English 250, and must maintain a 3.0 average in
all courses with ENGL/LITR/JRNL prefixes and achieve a minimum of C grade in all
required courses within the major.
Teaching is a profession that requires a high degree of professional
ethics and so it is important for students to exhibit ethical behavior;
therefore, any instance of cheating or plagiarism may result in expulsion from
the program based on a review by a panel of English Education faculty.
