Welcome to the Elementary Education Program
The School of Education offers a program leading to the B.S. degree in Elementary Education. The Elementary Education major leads to Indiana's teaching license for Elementary Generalist: Primary and Intermediate. Licensing in Kentucky is also available. The Elementary Education Program also offers a program for students interested in adding licensing in middle school/early adolescence with teaching areas in language arts, math, science, and/or social studies.
