Admission to the Non-licensure Elementary Education Program

If an education candidate does NOT pass any Praxis II tests, submit a showcase portfolio, or enroll in EDU 452 and EDU 453, s/he may elect to get a bachelor’s degree in elementary education without getting a teaching license. Education candidates are required to apply for admission to the Elementary Education Program during the first semester of the sophomore year. Full admission must be attained no later than the final semester of the senior year.

The alternate 12 hours of upper-division work will consist of the following:

• Nine hours from upper-division English, religion, sociology, social work, or psychology courses,

• And three hours EDU 499 for a passing grade on the capstone project.
