 If a student enjoys teaching, training, and helping others learn, or sees themselves in a career helping others and shaping future generations, Education and Public Service Exploration will help them investigate their numerous options. Advisors will help students find majors that connect with education and teaching. These majors include Ohio State's excellent education licensure programs where students can obtain the qualifications necessary to teach in the state of Ohio, or a degree where education and training are found in the career outcomes like public affairs or human resources. Education and Public Service includes majors like Early and Middle Childhood Studies, Community Leadership Extension Education, Teaching Licensure Programs, Public Affairs, and Social Work. Consider starting here if you are interested in education but not sure whether K-12 is the right path. You are deciding between undergraduate licensure versus content major plus graduate licensure, or you are interested in policy, law, and social justice. Typically, in their first semester, students will take math, first writing, a humanities course, and social science that may have a focus in child development or psychology.
