The hybrid undergraduate Elementary Education program will help expand your knowledge and develop the skills to energize young minds. This track includes an add-on certification in Early Childhood Education and will equip you to teach at any level, from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. You’ll study teaching theories and methods while also gaining an understanding of these students’ learning characteristics. Our hybrid seven-week classes are conveniently designed for the busy working professional.
