On Campus and Online Teaching Degrees At Alliant

Whether you want to teach young children or lead a classroom at a four-year college, we make it easy for you to find the teacher certification program that’s right for you.

Starting from early childhood, kids are greatly influenced by the teachers they interact with on a daily basis. Because that interaction is so important, we ensure our teacher preparation program helps future educators learn how to interact with students, prepare lesson plans, and structure courses. Along with teaching basics, we also give our students the tools to positively impact our future generation through education and guidance.

Before you sign up for education degree programs, it’s important to know that not all colleges with education programs are created equal. At SOE, our on campus and online programs teach more than just book smarts; they provide hands-on experience to prepare you to step into the classroom with confidence. That’s why our California teaching credential programs are approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC), one of the highest standards in the teaching profession.

Along with in-person coursework, we also offer the flexibility of online learning. Our online master’s degree program, graduate degree program, and teacher preparation programs are all CTC curriculum approved, so you know you are receiving a high quality education. With experienced faculty and challenging coursework, we’re able to give our graduate and undergraduate students the education they need to succeed as a future teacher. 

If you can see yourself in front of a classroom at an elementary school, you’ll be able to find an in-person or online teaching degree program at Alliant that suits your needs and gives you the confidence to help educate tomorrow’s leaders.
