The problem is that the subject matter is pedagogical theory rather than the actual subjects to be taught, such as English, math, history, and science. I don't think a major in "education" makes sense. The major should be in a real discipline, such as math or English, supplemented by some courses on pedagogy that would amount to a minor in education.
