Study Education

The College of Idaho offers a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in:

  • Elementary Teaching, which is designed for students who wish to earn teacher certification for elementary grades K-8; and
  • Secondary Teaching programs in Biology, English Language Arts, History, Mathematics, and Music, which are designed for students who wish to earn teacher certification for secondary grades 6-12 in these areas.

Our four-year teaching certification program emphasizes preparing educators for Idaho schools. It encompasses undergraduate study toward completion of a BA degree and an internship semester of student teaching to complete remaining licensure requirements.

The College of Idaho has a proud tradition of producing quality educators. Our graduates have gone on to successful careers in teaching and school administration, earning countless awards, grants, and recognition for their outstanding work as educators in Idaho and around the world. Education majors may also go on to earn graduate and doctoral degrees and teach at the college level.

A Meaningful Summer Experience

Each summer, College faculty and students partner with the Wood River YMCA to bolster educational outcomes for children in Idaho’s Wood River Valley. Despite being a popular recreational, tourist-heavy destination, many families struggle economically, often resulting in their children falling behind their peers academically.
