Advising Information:

Elementary Education students must attend group advising each semester to receive a PIN to register. Transfer students and newly declared students are encouraged to schedule an individual appointment prior to group advising. Group advising dates are posted under News and Events on the website. Students should sign up for the Elementary Education listserv to receive important information updates. Instructions are on the website. The program is also available at the Center for Urban Education located in Denver, in a different format. See "Elementary Education B.A. – Teacher Licensure (K-Grade 6) Emphasis at the Center for Urban Education."

The program consists of four parts:

  1. Liberal Arts Core (LAC) Credits
  2. Required Elementary Education Major Credits
  3. Areas of Concentration
  4. Professional Teacher Education Program (PTEP) Credits

Program Description:

The Elementary Education major is required for all students pursuing licensure in elementary education. It provides the broad academic background all elementary teachers need. This plan of study equips future teachers to address in their teaching the full range of the Colorado Academic Content Standards in mathematics, science, history and the social sciences, language and literature, and the arts. Concentration areas provide students with more in-depth study of academic disciplines. To complete the elementary licensure program, students take the Professional Teacher Education Program (PTEP) courses.

Program Admission Requirements:

The Elementary Education major requires academic good standing. Admission to the Literacy Block and Student Teaching in the PTEP program require a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
