Teach Future Leaders
The Primary Education (Pre K-5), B.S., major is designed to produce passionate teachers who can deliver high-quality, developmentally appropriate instruction to help children achieve life-long academic and social success.
Our Primary Education program gives you more classroom experiences than most universities.
We utilize a cohort-based approach to teaching methods and pedagogy courses.
Curriculum and Courses
The courses required for this program will prepare you to earn your teaching license and immediately enter the field of education. You’ll extend your learning way beyond the classroom to every area of your life. Students participate actively in a variety of classrooms and communities, culminating in a 15-week, full-time student teaching experience in which they work closely with mentor teachers. A few of the courses you will take in this major include:
- TCE 272P Introductory Child Development
- TCE 315P Children’s Literature for the PK-5 Classroom
- TCE 473P Childhood Synthesis: Negotiating the Complexities of Teaching

Minors
A minor is a specific program (minimum of 18 hours) taken outside of your major to complement your skills and increase your career opportunities. A few that are commonly combined with an education degree:
Certificates
Certificates are typically fewer hours than a minor, but will be designated on your transcript. They are a series of related courses showing you have specialized knowledge in that topic.
Endorsements
These are add-ons to a valid Ohio Teaching License. In addition to coursework, passing scores on Praxis and/or Ohio Assessment Exams may also be required. See your advisor for more details.
