Welcome to the Business/Marketing Education Program at the University of Kentucky! We are particularly proud that you are interested learning more about this most challenging teaching experience. Students with whom you will be working mature, learn, and explore at different rates, seemingly in different directions during their Business/Marketing Experience. As a classroom teacher engaged in working with young people during this time in their life, you will make similar discoveries about better ways to teach, to manage a classroom, to help a child learn.

Professor Doug Smith is the Chair of the Business/Marketing Education Program faculty.

Our Business/Marketing Program Faculty brings together ducators from within the College of Education, faculty from the University community, the Professional Educators from the Bluegrass area, and advanced Business/Marketing education students.

Applications are considered once a year (shortly after the 1 February deadline) for the Summer and two-semester program in Business/Marketing education. You will note that you apply to UK Graduate School and to the Master's with Initial Certification Program.

The Business/Marketing Education Program is approved by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
