Influence Student Lives
Teaching requires knowledge about the characteristics of learners, social structures of schools, families and communities, assessment techniques, classroom practices, law, statistics, technology, curriculum, and resources. Students will investigate this knowledge and combine it with extensive experiences in a variety of schools.

You’ll choose two licensure areas from Language Arts, Science, Mathematics, and Social Studies as your concentrations to make up 37-45 of your required credit hours. In addition, a few of the courses taken by all middle childhood majors include:

Career Options
With a content specialization in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, you'll successfully be able to command a classroom and educate young minds for the future. Additionally, students who obtain additional education may choose to pursue roles in educational administration.
