Elementary Education
You enjoy lighting the spark of knowledge in children, and watching them grow emotionally and intellectually. Teaching involves managing the classroom, planning engaging lessons, and embracing the needs of each individual student. If you're considering this pathway, helping young students learn to love learning is your passion.
Our Elementary Education Transfer Degree now aligns with Central Michigan University's Bachelor of Science in Education Degree. What does this mean? It means your credits will seamlessly transfer to CMU's program that certifies you to teach Pre-K through 6th grade. In fact, you'll be able to transfer 60-64 credits directly to CMU.
