Students should see their advisors to plan suitable programs of study. Note that some courses have prerequisites. The majority of courses taken in the first and second year are in liberal education (42 credits minimum). The Elementary Education major may be taken either with or without an endorsement area. The major plus the Preprimary Endorsement qualifies for licensure to teach children age three through sixth grade. The major plus the Social Studies Endorsement qualifies for licensure to teach all subjects in kindergarten through sixth grade and the content area of Social Studies in middle-level settings (grades 5-8).
Student teaching is to be taken at the end of the education major. It requires permission of the Clinical Experiences director in ED 4799 The Professional Teacher.
