BA/BS in Secondary Education

Galen University's Secondary Education degree leads to full teaching licensure and can be entered either straight from high school, with the degree typically finishing in about four years, or as a transfer from Junior College, which cuts the timeline to roughly two and a half years. Like Galen's other education programs, it carries formal recognition from Belize's teacher-licensing body, the Board of Teacher Education (BBTE). Within the 120-credit-hour program, students choose a content specialisation such as Belizean and Social Studies, Business, Computer Science or Physics, among other subject areas, and graduate qualified as a licensed content specialist at the secondary level. The structure lines up with associate-degree tracks in those same subjects offered at Belizean tertiary institutions, so associate-degree holders can transfer credit into the bachelor's. Classes run fully online in the evening, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm, letting students who already work keep their jobs while completing the degree.
