The elementary education program will prepare you to teach kindergarten through grade six. We believe that teachers are problem-solving professionals. So your elementary education program will develop your abilities to think, solve problems, and make decisions in critical areas such as instructional planning, instructional delivery, assessment, and classroom management. In addition to your education coursework, you will develop a broad knowledge base by studying a wide variety of subjects such as mathematics, history, biology, literature, foreign language, psychology, and the arts. You also will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of a particular subject of your choice by completing an 18-credit disciplinary focus. We build 18 credits (approximately six courses) right into your program to enable you to complete a minor in any academic area that interests you.
