6-12 Business Teacher Education Endorsements

McPhillips_CheckbooksBusiness Teacher Education is a major with excellent employment opportunities because of a steady demand for business teachers. The program is accredited by the Nebraska Department of Education and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Our two degree programs prepare teachers for careers in teaching and in business:

  • teaching in public and private schools.
  • teaching in community colleges.
  • working in business and industry.
  • working in human service agencies.

The two teaching degrees available through Business Teacher Education include:
