Any major can feed into the elementary program.
Since state regulations require that students who plan to teach complete both their major plus a minor in education, advance planning is essential for students who will participate in the teacher preparation program. Students preparing to teach should consult with their advisors and the Department of Education during their freshman year in order to begin planning a course of study which is in accordance with the requirements of the teacher-preparation program. EDUC 230 may be taken in the fall of the junior or senior year. Starting education courses as early as possible is advisable. In most cases, students who begin taking their education courses in the fall term of their second year have adequate time to complete the program.
