Master of Science in Teacher Education - Elementary Education Professional Internship Concentration (Post-Baccalaureate)

The MS in Teacher Education, Elementary Education Professional Internship Concentration prepares candidates to teach elementary students in grades K-5. Candidates are prepared to work in diverse settings to effectively meet the individual learning needs of their students.

For admission to a graduate program, an international student must have an equivalent 4-year bachelor's degree with at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale on all previous coursework or a 3.30 on a 4.00 scale on all previous graduate work.
