The Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education prepares candidates to teach Pre-K to Grade 8 in a self-contained classroom. The curriculum provides content background in reading, science, language arts, mathematics, social studies, and the arts in an accelerated format. Additionally, as an institution that sincerely believes in the value of service to others, Concordia University promotes this value in our goal to help men and women become quality teachers.
About Concordia University’s BA in Elementary Education

Students will enjoy the opportunity to teach early and often.
