Elementary Education, B.A.


The major in elementary education provides the student with a general education curriculum solidly grounded in the liberal arts and provides professional preparation leading to a teaching certificate for grades 1-6.

General Education Requirements


General education requirements are presented in the undergraduate academic information  section in this catalog. A course that meets a general education requirement may also meet a course requirement in the major or a course requirement in another discipline.

While students must complete a full general education sequence, the following specific general education courses must be taken to meet the requirements for this major:

Courses Required in Other Disciplines


  • Students must select one course in geography.
  • Students must select one course in health or nutrition and wellness.
  • Students must select one course in economics.
  • Students must select one course in mathematics in addition to the general education requirement. Students must complete MTH 104  and MTH 106 , unless transferring an approved mathematics course from another Institution. Students transferring a mathematics course will complete MTH 102 .

Graduation Requirement

Early Childhood Certification
