Education

Overview

Do you have a passion for knowledge and a desire to inspire the next generation? The teaching profession welcomes future educators who enjoy working with young people and who themselves aspire to be lifelong learners. The Education Program at Olympic College prepares students to meet the pre-teaching requirements of four-year colleges and universities in the State of Washington. By getting grounded in foundational education coursework, students gain a head start on a rewarding career that benefits future generations and society as a whole.

This field may be right for you if:

• You are passionate about igniting learning in others
• You value the role of education as a vehicle for social change
• You enjoy helping children and young people maximize their potential both in the classroom and recreationally.
• You love finding creative ways to meet the needs of all learners

Good writing skills and communication skills are essential, and students should expect to hone these skills throughout their educational careers.

Students who plan to major in education at a four-year institution should complete their Olympic College associate degree by pursuing a broad range of social science and humanities courses in addition to the required education courses.

In addition to obtaining a teaching position, a degree in Education can enable students to pursue school administration, marketing, and communication roles in the public and private sectors. Please see the Careers section of this website for more information.
