BA Elementary Education (K-6 Certification)

Education students at Caldwell University graduate with two majors, a content major (Art, English, Math, Music, Science (Biology or Chemistry), Psychology, Social Studies, or World Language) AND an Education major. The content courses ensure that you know what to teach, while the education courses ensure that you know how to teach. The K-6 certification program is organized so that you can complete BOTH parts in four years, within 120 credits. Caldwell University’s School of Education offers elementary and secondary teacher certifications, and we suggest that ALL education majors also earn Teacher of the Student with Disabilities (TOSD) Certification upon graduation. Both certifications will make you that much more marketable to school districts.

Elementary teachers often teach all subjects (English/Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies), while secondary teachers focus on ONE content area. School of Education professors are here to assist as you begin your path toward becoming a teacher.
