Vocational Technical Education


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: All Programs of Study

In cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Westfield State University offers a degree program for vocational teachers. This is a Bachelor of Science in Education (Vocational) for teachers of trades. The students in this program later are employed either in their trade area, or in a vocational technical school, or in a comprehensive high school. Since the students in this program are employed during the day, the program is offered on a part time basis in the evening. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a conferred degree is not a requirement for teaching a trade in a vocational school.

Admission into the Vocational Education program will be dependent on prior vocational education and certification.

Note:


*See description in Graduate Catalogue for corresponding course; undergraduate course to be submitted for governance approval.

Additional Graduation Requirements


All students must meet the University Graduation Requirements  and complete a general education or common core of studies, distributed among the different academic areas as detailed in General Education: WISE  or Common Core .
