Bachelor of Science: Integrative Studies
If college students already have some college credit outside the field of education, it’s still possible for them to shift their course and become aspiring elementary school teachers. A bachelor’s degree in integrative studies with a concentration in elementary teacher training and a minor in elementary education is one of the few degree pathways to K-6 licensure that doesn’t require an education major – and you can take all your courses online.
With this major, you can transfer previously earned credits toward your bachelor’s degree even if they aren’t related to education. This enables you to become a licensed teacher more quickly and jump into creating an exciting, innovative learning environment for students.
