Middle Childhood Level educators first complete a rigorous undergraduate program in two specialized areas (language, arts, social studies, mathematics or science) accompanied with 15 hours of teacher education professional coursework and field experiences in urban and suburban practicum experiences in middle school settings.

After completing the bachelor's degree program, the candidate applies to a graduate level teacher licensure program (the teaching license is not provided on the undergraduate level).

The bachelor's degree curriculum will vary depending on the combination of specialized areas the candidate selects - see the program links on this page for the different combinations of content areas.

The Teacher Education professional Phase 1 classes, provide the undergraduate with an introduction to the total ecology of schools with focus on Middle Childhood Level education.
