BUED Course Options

If you are looking for a course this Spring, consider BUED 421 or BUED 612.

We will count either of these as a substitute for BUED 613 (which is not being offered this semester), or you could count one of these courses as an "elective" option, consult your advisor for that possibility.  BOTH classes are online.

BUED 613 - Methods of Individual Training and Job Analysis

BUED 421 - Electronic Media in Instruction

You will have the opportunity to hear what teachers like you learned and accomplished in their schools and how you might be able to do the same.

Embracing K12 CTE — CTE can have a stronger connection to career and college ready students when the connection starts in Kindergarten. Learn to link CTE careers and pathways to academic and CTE instruction across all grade levels.
