About
This is a two-year plan for degree completion; it is only for students who transfer to IU from Vincennes or Ivy Tech with an associate degree on the Indiana Transfer Single Articulation Pathway (TSAP) plan. The Elementary Education degree program covers early childhood and middle childhood developmental levels. Graduates are licensed to teach in elementary, primary, and intermediate settings (K–6). The degree program has several distinct elements: A recommended sequence of general education courses, a professional education component, student teaching or other supervised practicum experience, elementary and special education majors will also be required to have either a minor, concentration, or attain dual licensure. A license in this area requires the completion of specified general education courses and professional education courses with a minimum total of 120 credit hours for the Bachelor of Science degree. Candidates are advised that there are very few elective courses in the elementary education degree program and that early program selection and advising is important for timely graduation.
