At the University of Minnesota, Morris, the following program is designed to meet the current BOT requirements. These course requirements are subject to change when the BOT implements new licensure rules. Students in elementary education must complete licensure requirements and apply for licensure within seven years from time of admission to the licensure program. After seven years, all education courses previously taken become void and must be retaken for licensure. Kindergarten Licensure Requirements Students who seek additional state teaching licensure in kindergarten education apply for the program during the fall semester of the junior year.
Enrollment is limited.
Applicants are notified of admission to the program at the end of the fall semester. It is recommended that students complete an area of concentration or a minor supportive of elementary education. To complete an area of concentration, at least 16 credits are required. Students should seek approval of their plan for an area of concentration from a member of the elementary education faculty. Students seeking a non-education major or minor should consult this catalog for requirements in the area of interest.
