Our 120 credit–hour program is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). The program is designed to enhance professional educators to facilitate learning. The curriculum reflects a carefully planned interaction among five components: general studies (classes common to all undergraduate programs), professional and pedagogical studies (classes in instruction of teaching methods), content studies (classes in Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, etc.), Integrative Studies, and clinical and field experiences (student teaching). While students can choose to enroll in online, in-person, or hybrid formats for courses, all students are required to participate in unpaid, in-person, full-time student teaching during their senior year in order to meet state teacher certification requirements.
This degree prepares students to teach elementary education in grades 1-5.
