Overview


Within the State of Kansas, Career and Technical Education instructors are often hired from business and industry. The strongest asset they possess is the work experience in their occupational area. What they are lacking are the specific teaching skills to share their knowledge and skills with students. The Master of Science in CTE (Technical Teacher Education Emphasis) has been redesigned to provide specialized teacher education 100% online. Past students are teaching in the following programs: automotive, diesel, machining, culinary arts, health occupation, construction, welding, auto-collision, cosmetology, electrical, electronics, heavy equipment operator, environmental water/waste water, graphic design, certified nursing assistant, and business and marketing.
