TAMPA, Fla. — After pleas from local school districts, the University of South Florida has announced it will keep its College of Education and continue offering undergraduate degrees for teachers.

What You Need To Know

  • USF will keep College of Education

  • Local superintendents held multiple meetings with USF administrators

  • New proposal will be presented on January 8

Local school superintendents, including Addison Davis of Hillsborough County, Kurt Browning of Pasco County, Michael Grego of Pinellas County, Jacqueline Byrd of Polk County, Brennan Asplen of Sarasota Country and Cynthia Saunders of Manatee County, held a series of meetings with USF administrators.

They said they were surprised by the university's announcement in October that it planned to eliminate the College of Education because of budget cuts.

The superintendents said that would impact negatively impact their hiring abilities.

USF said after those meetings, it has decided to retain the College of Education.

The university said it will continue to offer its most high-demand undergraduate programs in education. A search is also being conducted for a permanent Dean of the College of Education.

USF said it plans to strengthen the college's focus on educational research and innovative teaching strategies.

The new proposal will be presented to the USF Board of Trustees at its workshop on Friday, January 8.

Secondary Education (grades 9-12)

Grades 9-12, collectively referred to as Secondary Education, are some of the most challenging and rewarding for students and teachers alike- explaining concepts like advanced mathematics or literary devices to a roomful of young adults is no small task!

High school teachers are among the most fondly remembered people in our lives. Are you ready to become one?

Maybe you want to make a difference in the lives of teenagers; perhaps you have a passion for an advanced subject that you cannot help but share. Whatever it is that drives you to explore the realm of Secondary Education, we will help you be ready for the challenges ahead.

Your course work

As part of the Secondary Education program, you will most likely choose a specialization in a particular subject- English, science, mathematics and so on. However, instead of tackling two disciplines in a single undergraduate degree, you will focus on a single subject while learning specific strategies for teaching adolescents.

If you are coming to UofSC to begin your undergraduate degree, or you are already at UofSC and in your freshmen, sophomore, or junior year, the B.A./B.S. plus M.T. is the program for you.

If you already have your bachelor’s degree from any institution or will be finishing your bachelor’s degree soon, the Career Change M.T. can help you reach your goal of becoming a teacher.

Your career

Naturally, you will more than likely go on to work in a high school. Other options do exist, primarily instructional and rehabilitative careers like training and counseling young people, but not in a classroom setting.
