Program Information Students are strongly encouraged to consult their advisor before making coursework selections. For Elementary Education majors with available elective credit, it is highly recommended that students choose their electives as an endorsement, concentration, or specialization to make them more marketable. Please consult your Student Success Advisor as early as possible to optimize opportunities . If a student graduates with an Elementary Education major and then returns to college to pursue an optional endorsement, concentration, or specialization, the student may not be eligible for federal financial aid. Total elective credit is determined by General Education courses taken, degree type selected, additional credits earned, and any additional math or other prerequisite courses needed. For a bachelor’s degree, students must earn a minimum of 40 upper-division credits (courses numbered 3000-4999). Students may need to select additional upper-division courses not included in their major requirements in order to reach this minimum. It is important to see an advisor early to determine the number of credits for your degree plan . This program requires the completion of multiple math courses. Students who are not prepared for these math courses may need additional math credits/preparation, which may affect time to graduation. Please consult your Student Success Advisor for more information. NOTE: Students who are interested in earning a higher-level mathematics endorsement should consult with their Student Success Advisor to work out course substitutions. The following courses are not required but are highly recommended: Either BIOL 1010 - Introduction to Biology OR BIOL 2500 - Environmental Biology (can be used to fulfill General Education Life Sciences Breadth Area) GEO 1110 - Exploring Earth: Introduction to Geology (can be used to fulfill General Education Physical Sciences Breadth Area)
