Program benefits

  • Gain extensive classroom experience in diverse settings through Loyola partnerships with schools and communities.

  • Earn your degree from a fully accredited college that prepares students for licensing and advanced board licensure.

Curriculum

Bachelor of Science in Education (BSEd) degrees use the Teaching, Learning, and Leading with Schools and Communities (TLLSC) curriculum as its foundation. It’s an approach that will help you stand out when you’re searching for your first job.

The TLLSC curriculum focuses on hands-on learning. Your studies will be built around four Cornerstones—partnering with schools and communities, classroom diversity, ongoing classroom experience, and participating in professional learning communities.
