Elementary Education Major with Licensure


For the first three years, you will take a variety of courses to master the content that you’ll need to become an excellent teacher. After completing your coursework, you can apply for the year-long clinical residency that is completed during your senior year in an elementary classroom anywhere in the world. To prepare for your residency, you’ll have the opportunity to attend a summer session and complete your education-specific coursework online, while student teaching. Students graduate with a degree in Elementary Education and a license to teach elementary education from the Colorado Department of Education.
