The market for talented middle and high school educators is strong. It is expected to grow through the next decade as teachers retire and the student population increases.

The University of Toledo’s accredited program in adolescent and young adult education prepares students to teach language arts, mathematics, science or social studies in grades 7 to 12.

UToledo undergraduates focus on core education classes in their content areas during their first two years. As juniors, they begin their professional education sequences — courses in teaching methods and two year-long experiences in local classrooms.
