Elementary Education, B.S.
The innovative Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, offered through the College of Education at 91大神, is the first program of its kind to be approved by the Tennessee Department of Education. This four-year Elementary Education program leads to three areas of licensure for our graduates: Elementary Education K-5, Special Education Interventionist K-8, and English as a Second Language K-12.
Throughout this initial licensure teacher preparation program, students are trained in content knowledge, instructional and assessment strategies, classroom management, and provided opportunities throughout to engage in experiential learning in elementary classrooms. Coursework specifically designed to help graduates meet the needs of multilingual learners and students with disabilities is also integrated into the 4-year program. Once all other Tennessee licensure requirements are met, Elementary Education graduates can earn endorsements in Elementary Education K-5, Special Education Interventionist K-8, and English as a Second Language K-12.
