Career and Technical Education prepares students to teach high school business, family and consumer sciences, or technology. For students also wanting to be eligible to teach in a middle school, additional Middle Level Education courses are required.
The business education emphasis requires 41 hours of general education, 36-42 hours of professional education, and 36-39 hours of content.

This major requires that students follow and meet the requirements for Admission, Retention and Graduation from Teacher Certification programs as described in the “Teacher Certification Programs” section of this catalog and as explained at the University Admission to Teacher Education Meeting which all students must attend. Students must gain University Approval to Take Teacher Education Courses no later than the end of their first semester of their junior year in order to use this suggested plan. Additional information on Admission, Retention and Graduation for Teacher Certification programs can be found on the College of Education & Professional Studies website at www.eiu.edu/ceps/teached.
All students must pass the Illinois Certification Test of Basic Skills for selection into teacher education and should complete this requirement no later than their sophomore year.
Students must receive a “C” or better in all professional education courses and maintain a minimum cumulative and major GPA of 2.65 in order to continue in the program. Courses requiring a “C” or better are identified in the suggested plan by a “+.”
Students have two options for completing the professional education coursework – Regular Secondary Education Program and Integrated Secondary Education Program (ISEP). The required courses under these two options are identified below with the designations of R and A respectively. For more information regarding these two options please consult with your advisor. Information is also available in the Teacher Certification Program section of this catalog.
A possible four-year plan of study for each of the emphases in the Career and Technical Education major follows. Other plans are possible: the student should consult with his/her advisor to develop the study plan best suited to his/her needs and interests.
