Introduction
Students enrolled in the Elementary Teacher Education program (grades K-8) will complete 78 credits of professional education courses, including a yearlong internship under the guidance of a faculty member and an on-site teacher educator in a local elementary or middle school. In accordance with state certification requirements, students will complete coursework for an "All Subjects, K-8" endorsement, as well as a minor endorsement in a second teaching area.
