In accordance with the Association for Middle Level Educators (AMLE) national standards, the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), the Ohio Learning standards, the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) standards, and the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) standards, the MCE program faculty are committed to ensuring high teacher candidate quality from recruitment and admission, through the progression of courses and field experiences, to program completion and graduation of candidates in two content areas (math, science, social studies, language arts) and in reading. Faculty and staff work closely with every candidate to ensure a positive experience and to support the learning outcomes of our specific courses and program.

The Middle Childhood Education program leads to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree with licensure in 2 content areas (math, science, social studies, language arts) and reading for grades 4-9. Choose from the following content area options:

Language Arts & Social Studies
Language Arts & Mathematics

The MCE undergraduate licensure degree program is designed so that candidates complete general education and content courses during their first four semesters (two years) and are admitted into the MCE program at the beginning of their third year experiences. They will proceed through their third and fourth years as members of a cohort group. The cohort portion of the program consists of four semesters of integrated coursework and field experiences.

Specific courses will be taken to ensure that candidates develop theoretical and practical knowledge in the humanities, mathematics and technology, social sciences, biological and physical sciences, and the arts. Courses that incorporate multi-cultural and global perspectives are also included in the general education requirements. The content area methods courses taken during the fourth year in the program focus on pedagogy and developmentally responsive best practices for middle-level learners.
