Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education
This degree is designed to provide highly trained and highly motivated teachers for elementary school classes. Candidates for this degree benefit from a non-traditional approach to state certification requirements and course-based clinical and field experiences. The program is designed for working adults who cannot stop work to complete a 16-week field experience. This program benefits from an emphasis on undergraduate research in all academic disciplines as students work side-by-side with professors on research projects and activities.
