Minor in Education
The Education minor allows all Colby-Sawyer students to explore the field of education through a combination of coursework and fieldwork. This minor provides students with a broad background of knowledge in education, psychology, and sociology, all areas which intersect in school environments. Note: Students who complete this minor are not eligible for New Hampshire Teacher Certification.
Early Childhood Education Certification
Colby-Sawyer College is among the approved professional educator preparation programs in New Hampshire. Students seeking New Hampshire Teacher Certification in Early Childhood Education (N-3) complete the degree requirements for the B.S. in Child Development and qualify for certification by completing additional coursework in education. Teaching internships are done during the senior year.
New Hampshire certification transfers to most other states.
Capstone Project
Every senior completes a Capstone project, a culmination of work in their fields of study that allows them to demonstrate a deep understanding of a body of knowledge and perspectives informed by that knowledge. Students display and discuss their Capstone projects with the college community and area residents during the Susan Colby Colgate Scholars Symposium each spring.
Child Development & Education Majors Club
The Child Development Club is involved in numerous service projects, including two clothing drives per year to benefit area organizations.
