FindurU.com!
Try this!
I probably just wasted an hour of my day playing around with this, but this is such a great website to find what college has your interests! www.finduru.com At this site, you can type in anything that you are looking for in a college. Once you find a school that has, NCAA DII for example, it takes you to the area on the website that talks about NCAA DII in depth!
This is so user friendly and you have so many choices to choose from! You can search within public/private schools; suburban, urban, or rural setting; tuition ranges; state; and a choice between 4 year or 2 year institutions.
Have fun!

Education Program at Seton Hill
The education program at Seton Hill University is a bit different than at other universities. One thing to remember is that you cannot major in education at SHU, but…
SHU teacher training programs are designed to prepare teachers for inclusionary teaching practice. The programs are designed to train teachers to be reflective practioners, well-schooled in the theory and practice of teaching, and able to critically evaluate their own teaching performance.
As a liberal arts university, SHU requires all potential teachers to major in a liberal arts content area. Matriculating in one of the teacher certification programs with a strong liberal arts background gives students the advantage of double preparation.
Students graduate with a liberal arts degree PLUS one to three areas of certification (elementary education, special education, secondary education). By enrolling in the education program, you will complete the liberal arts curriculum of the university, an academic major of your choice, the education sequence of courses, a minimum of 30 hours of observation and involvement in area schools, and 15 weeks of student teaching.
For example, if you would like to be a high school history teacher, you would major in history and get your certification in secondary education.
To be an elementary teacher, you will need to have a focus major and then you will get your elementary teaching certification. In this focus, you will take courses such as Social Studies in Elementary Education, Classroom Management and Parent Conferencing, Art in Elementary Education, etc.
Seton Hill also provides graduate level courses in Education; Elementary, Inclusive, and Special Education are all possible choices.
For more information about the education program, visit our online catalogue to see the extensive list of courses.
