Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education
The Department of Curriculum, Instruction and Leadership is dedicated to preparing
exemplary teachers through undergraduate academic degree programs in areas of Elementary
Education. Our program is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation
of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). The program is designed to enhance professional
educators to facilitate learning. The curriculum reflects a carefully planned interaction
among five components: general studies (classes common to all undergraduate programs),
professional and pedagogical studies (classes in instruction of teaching methods),
content studies (classes in Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, etc.), Integrative
Studies, and clinical and field experiences (student teaching).
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of elementary school teachers
is projected to grow 12 % from 2012 to 2022. This growth is expected due to projected
increases in enrollment as well as declines in student鈥搕eacher ratios.听
