Elementary Education Programs
The elementary education programs offered through our College of Adult and Graduate Studies will provide you with the skills to make a meaningful impact on the world’s next generation of learners. As a teacher candidate, you will study education theory and participate in field-based learning experiences that put you in the classroom. This unique combination of theory and practice will help you develop the competencies necessary to become an effective Elementary teacher in K-6 classrooms.
Taught from a Christian worldview, our elementary education programs will help you address the diverse needs of today's learners through servant-leadership in classrooms, schools and society as a whole. Small class sizes encourage individualized learning and networking and give you direct access to instructors who are also professionals in the field.
