The Pioneer Plus initiative provides three different options for students enrolled at Transylvania for 2020-21: Transy Plus One, Transy Plus Summer and Pioneer Pledge Plus. Students who wish to discuss the Pioneer Pledge Plus option for the 2020-21 academic year should contact [email protected] prior to the scheduled start of classes to be eligible.

Pioneer Pledge Plus is for returning students who opt for a leave of absence — or gap year — for the 2020-21 academic year and builds on Transylvania’s Pioneer Pledge, which offers a four-year graduation guarantee, level tuition option and a 12-month payment plan.

The education major at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, is an intellectually vibrant community committed to the liberal arts and to preparing students for a fulfilling personal and professional life. Whether you choose one of the teacher preparatory education degrees or the non-teaching education and social change degree, you will learn to examine the many problems and issues of education in a critical, open-minded spirit. You’ll reflect on what it means to be an educated person, and explore diversity and equity issues in all your courses.
Teacher preparation majors are theory based rather than just technique driven. Primary, middle grades and secondary preparation students must be actively involved in their own learning, participating in a variety of interactive classes and seminars on campus and in P–12 classrooms.
Academic internships are offered in public and private organizations, with positions available in human service agencies, government agencies and private businesses. The internship is normally completed in an off-campus work setting and includes both academic and non-academic requirements, which are jointly supervised by a work supervisor, a faculty member and Career Development.
Transylvania University offers 39 different minors. These minor patterns are described in the Academic Majors, Minors, and Preprofessional Studies section. Minors are optional. Students may choose to declare a minor only after declaring a major. Once a minor is declared, it must be completed or officially removed by the student prior to graduation. Students should review the requirements of each minor carefully for restrictions on using credits for more than one major/minor.
The college believes that all students, no matter what career or vocation they choose, benefit from liberal education; and so the college encourages the free search for knowledge and understanding drawn from the natural and social sciences, the humanities and the arts. By so doing, the college strives to empower students to develop lifelong habits of learning and intelligent, respectful discussion. Therefore, students must fulfill requirements in five general areas:
May term is considered an integral part of the academic year. Students must be enrolled in at least one unit of credit during May term to live in campus housing during this period unless prior approval has been granted by the Dean of the University or the Dean of Students. Students enrolling in May term must register for at least one full unit of credit.
Recipients of a Transylvania Bachelor of Arts degree are not eligible for a second degree at the university. Transylvania graduates may, however, have additional majors posted to the academic record by completing all outstanding courses required at the time of completion and with the approval of the appropriate program director and the dean of the university.
