About the Middle Level Subject Endorsement Degree Program

On Campus

The Middle Level Subject Endorsement Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs at the University of Nebraska at Kearney are premier education programs that will prepare graduates to work with students in middle school. UNK students get in the classroom early and often, and our close partnership with Kearney and area schools gives students numerous opportunities to interact in both early field experiences and student teaching. Education faculty know the value of hands-on learning and are here to guide you in these field experiences.

UNK's Teacher Education Department has been the backbone of the educational system since its beginning as the Nebraska State Normal School in 1905. This extensive history of training Nebraska’s best educators brings an unmatched reputation and legacy that our graduates take with them to their schools and throughout their careers.

“Being in the classroom feels like home and there is nowhere I would rather be all day than spending it with students. UNK prepares you for every aspect of the classroom, which gives people an advantage when looking for a job. After completing my student teaching, I feel UNK has prepared me the best they could to be out in the real world.”
