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.

MIDDLE CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Bachelor of Science in Education (BS Ed.)

The BS Ed. in Middle Childhood does not lead to licensure at the bachelor's degree level. Additional graduate level preparation is require for the license (see MEd program of study below).

The Middle Childhood Licensure Program is based on an undergraduate BS Ed. degree in Middle Childhood, graduate coursework and an option of completing a Master of Education (M. Ed.).

Candidates who complete the B.S. Ed. and graduate coursework and appropriate Praxis II tests are eligible to seek licensure from the Ohio Department of Education. Students have the option of completing the Master of Education (M. Ed.) degree in the College of Education and Human Services.

The course listings on the links below are not official programs of study for the bachelor's degree. Requirements may vary based on quarter/year of entry into the major. Consult with a Teacher Licensure Advisor for further information. Admitted students have an official Degree Audit and Reporting System (DARS) report as their official program of study.
