Business, Computer, and Information Technology Education

Note: The degree and certification programs in Career and Technical Education (Business, Computer, and Information Technology Education (BCITE); Industrial Education; Marketing Education) were recently revised to address new regulations from the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE). All students enrolling, as well as students already enrolled, in any of these programs for the first time in 2011-2012 are strongly recommended to check with the Student Resource Center (SRC) in the College of Education, or with the Department of Teaching & Learning (T&L), to affirm the requirements that pertain to their specific major. In addition, students should check the Undergraduate Bulletin web site for the most current information about these programs (Academic Programs section), or the College of Education's web site at www.temple.edu/education.

This is to assure that a candidate’s intended program of study will be compatible with the new requirements.
