The Elementary Education major with a Middle School Communication Arts and Literature minor is designed to prepare students for a public and private teaching career in grades K-6 with an endorsement in grades 5-8. The program is structured to meet the Minnesota Board of Teaching Elementary Education and Endorsement licensure requirements. The student must be accepted into the Teacher Education Department and meet all of the requirements.

Program Requirements

I. Christian Studies - 24 Credits

II. General Education - 30 Credits

III. Elementary Education Major - 61-64 Credits

IV. Education Core - 25 Credits

Total - 125-128 Credits

1 Select humanities electives from COM, ENG, ESL, FAR, HIS, HUM, LAN, MUS, PHI, or PRC.

2 Select social science electives from ANT, CSJ, ECO, ESL, GEO, HIS, POL, PSY, or SOC.

3 Fine arts courses include music, art, drama, and dance. COM 328  and COM 446  also qualify as fine arts electives. (Only three credits of music organizations and/or lessons can be counted toward humanities/fine arts requirements.)
