Bachelor of Science, Elementary Education Four-Year Plan  

The Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education at Southeastern University equips students to manage, teach, and assess learners of different ages and learning styles. Through hands-on coursework, ongoing field studies, and a student-teaching internship, you’ll be prepared to step into your career with confidence. You’ll also gain a strong foundation of historical perspectives, theory, and teaching methods from professors with decades of experience in the classroom, who are committed to helping you navigate today’s schools as a Christian professional. 

 

Become state certified, as well as FLOCS- and ACSI-certified (national and international).

 

State Approval/Reciprocity

All teacher education programs have met requirements for Florida State Approved Programs.

Students who plan to teach in Florida schools must file an application with the Office of Teacher Certification for the State of Florida and complete the post-degree requirements for the teaching credential.

Students graduating from Florida state-approved teacher certification programs are currently eligible for initial certification to teach in all members of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC), an interstate reciprocity contract allowing certified teachers to obtain teaching jobs in other states and territories. An applicant’s eligibility for certification according to the interstate agreement contract will be determined after the application for a Florida teaching certificate is on file in the Teacher Certification Office.
