Bachelor of Science in Education Middle Grades Education

A degree in Middle Grades Education (Online) qualifies individuals for teaching positions in public schools, specifically working with students in grades 4–8. Middle schools serve a diverse population of young adolescents experiencing rapid physical, intellectual, and emotional development. This fully online degree program prepares future middle grades teachers to create engaging, developmentally appropriate learning environments and to support students during these critical years. Graduates are well-equipped to meet the increasing demand for certified teachers across the state and the nation.

This Middle Grades Education program coursework is offered 100% online, asynchronously, offering flexibility for working adults, paraprofessionals, and career changers seeking a path to teacher certification. The program provides flexibility so paraprofessionals can continue working while completing field and clinical experiences. Some paraprofessionals in a middle grades (4-8) classroom (not special education) can keep their current positions and use them as placements for their field and clinical experiences. 

Some field observation hours may be required.
