As a Converse Education major, you will observe instruction in local schools, participate in clinical experiences, implement new skills learned in related coursework, and assist teachers in their classroom.Converse's education program will give you the edge in your field with our strong liberal arts foundation and hands-on experience. When you graduate from Converse you'll be certified to teach in South Carolina and amply prepared to take the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Praxis subject assessment prior to student teaching.
