Undergraduate Programs

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction has as its major function the professional preparation of licensed teachers at the elementary, middle and secondary levels.  The programs lead to the Bachelor of Science degree and Master of Education degree.   To meet and carry out these functions, the department offers a strong Teacher Education Preparation Program recognized by the Arkansas Department of Education, the Arkansas Department of Higher Education and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation, CAEP. Additionally, the department offers a non-licensure degree program in Rehabilitation.  Programs are being revised due to Arkansas Department of Education Division of Elementary and Secondary Education for Teacher Licenses.

Teacher Licenses have changed.  Elementary Education, K-6 grades, is up and operational.  This is our most popular teacher education program.  Special Education as an undergraduate program is active since Fall 2015.  Middle Childhood Education, Grades 4-8, will allow an individual to choose two areas of concentrations from Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and Science. Secondary Education programs are within the specialty areas such as Math or Biology. Art, Music, and Health and Physical Education are certified K-12 grades.

The ACT/SAT is not required for a student’s Admission to the School of Education Educator Preparation Program (EPP). However, a student’s  ACT/SAT score may be used to determine his/her specific services needed to pass the state mandated assessments for the Pearson and/or Praxis exams.

THE PROFESSION OF REHABILITATION AND DISABILITY STUDIES

The rehabilitation counselor assesses the types of services and then coordinates services for people with disabilities during the entire rehabilitation process. Vocational rehabilitation counselors meet with the client to determine the primary cause for the client’s inability to work. After determining the impediment to employment how it is affecting the individual’s capacity for work, the counselor works with the client toward achieving a successful outcome



SCOPE OF PRACTICE STATEMENT

Rehabilitation counseling is a systematic process which assists persons with physical, mental, developmental, cognitive, and emotional disabilities to achieve their personal, career, and independent living goals in the most integrated setting possible through the application of the counseling process. The counseling process involves communication, goal setting, and beneficial growth or change through self-advocacy, psychological, vocational, social, and behavioral interventions.
