Perhaps your desire is to become a classroom teacher, here in the United States or abroad. Perhaps you want to deepen your understanding of the social, political and economic influences of education systems. In either case, the education department provides an opportunity for you to pursue a Colorado educator license, an Education Major or Minor, a Master of Arts in Teaching (with an educator license), or a Reading Teacher endorsement with the Colorado Department of Education (Master of Arts in Teaching Dyslexia Specialist ).
