Bachelor of Science in Education in Elementary Teacher Education/Master of Arts in Childhood Education in Languages, Literature, and Cultures

Students in Elementary Teacher Education (ETE) develop the skills to become outstanding elementary, middle school, and special education teachers, prepared to meet the challenges of educating today’s diverse student population. Our program allows students to become dually certified in elementary education (K-8) and one of six areas of concentration: English as a Second Language, special education, middle school mathematics, middle school English, middle school science or middle school social studies. Having a second teaching certificate makes our graduates even more marketable. Students also have the option of choosing a single certification area in elementary education in conjunction with a UD minor. Students interested in this option should speak with an advisor to discuss the limitations of a single certification.The four-year curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Education contains required graduate courses that prepare students in the Elementary Teacher Education (ETE) major for the Master of Arts in Childhood Foreign Language Education. This interdisciplinary degree trains candidates to teach in the dual-language immersion classroom. With this 41 plan and the proper scheduling of graduate EDUC courses, students may enter immediately into the MA program in the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, full-time with the possibility of completion within one year.
