UF Online Tackles FL Teacher Shortage with New Ed Degree

University of Florida

Florida schools opened this fall with an estimated 5,000 unfilled teaching positions – proof that training new teachers is more crucial than ever in the Sunshine State.

The University of Florida's College of Education is meeting this challenge by offering a fully online program that helps equip current and future educators with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education – along with options for certifications and endorsements in high-need areas, such as English for Speakers of Other Languages. The program's first cohort started in August.
