Elementary Education (P-5), B.A.


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees, Minors, and Certificates

The elementary education (P-5) program leads to the Bachelor of Arts. The advising process is particularly crucial for teacher education students. Students wishing to enroll in the elementary education program must follow the admission guidelines for teacher education programs outlined by the College of Education and Human Services. It is suggested that freshmen or other interested students declare a pre-major in elementary education. This procedure will result in assignment to a teacher education advisor familiar with the current curricular and admission requirements and with any impending changes that may occur prior to the student’s admission semester. Upon successful completion of this program, the graduate will qualify for an institutional recommendation for a Kentucky Provisional Certificate for teaching in the elementary grades (P-5).

You should also know: At the time of graduation, all students in teacher education programs must meet the following requirements:
Overall GPA of 2.75.
Pedagogy (EDU and EDS courses) GPA of 2.75.
Content course GPA of 2.75.
