• All students seeking elementary initial licensure (grades 1-6) take the following 36-credit sequence of courses.
  • These core courses were developed to aid students in their graduate level learning process. Core I introduces a developmental perspective on education as well as an inquiry into the issues that face contemporary educators. Core II examines research and current understandings about the methods of teaching specific fields of knowledge.
  • These courses, along with 75 hours of monitored fieldwork, constitute the pre-practicum. The capstone of the program for the Initial Licensure is the semester-long supervised practicum and accompanying portfolio.
