         Technology Education, B.S.: 4-year sequence  

Introduction

Technology Education is a Bachelor of Science degree program consisting of general, professional and technical course work that leads to teaching certification in all 50 states. Although the program is designed to lead to an education degree, graduates have also found challenging career opportunities in fields related to communication, construction, manufacturing, and transportation. Courses taken provide students with hands-on experiences using computers, robots, electronics, and more conventional equipment used in processing materials, transportation, construction, and processing information. Course work is enriched by involvement with professional organizations and professional activities.

The program is also offered with a distance option for geographically-bound students seeking Career and Technical Education certification.

Note: This program is designed to meet the requirements for licensure in the State of Wisconsin. If you reside outside of Wisconsin, please note that UW-Stout cannot confirm whether this program (or course) meets requirements for professional licensure in your state. Students from other states will need to contact their state regarding licensure requirements.  See the following website for additional information.
