When you study secondary education at Butler, you learn teaching from experienced educators, both on campus and in area schools for your real-world experience. You expand your knowledge and complete the first two years of your teaching degree for less cost than at a traditional four-year college. After you receive your associate degree in secondary education, you can transfer seamlessly into a content-specific secondary education bachelor’s degree program.
