Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education
The B.A. in elementary education leads to licensure as an elementary teacher (K-6) in the state of Vermont. Certification is reciprocal with more than 30 states, including every state along the eastern seaboard.
Students in this program must:
- Complete the elementary education major;
- Complete a self-selected 30-credit liberal arts concentration;
- Submit an approved professional portfolio that meets Vermont licensure requirements; and
- Have an overall grade point average of B or better.
As an elementary education major, you will also undertake two separate student teaching experiences. The first is a semester-long assignment in a classroom at one of our Professional Development School (PDS) sites. The second involves a full semester in a public school classroom during the senior year. Many Vermont elementary, middle and secondary schools offer placement for these experiences.
Please consult the undergraduate catalog for a complete listing of program prerequisites and requirements.
