Overview

Beginning in your first year and continuing through graduation, you will be in classrooms. In fact, our partnerships allow for you to take many courses on site in elementary schools where the theory you learn from expert faculty can be taken just down the hall to a real-life field experience. This culminates in a full year of student teaching—every day, all day—during your senior year.

Key Facts

In addition, all of our students of Elementary Education majors at the Butler University have an imbedded diverse learners minor, which will help you to address the needs of all your learners once you are a classroom teacher. Plus, the two semesters of student teaching provide the flexibility to convert some minors into a second licensure area (special education and English as a new language).

With our 100% placement rate you will find that teaching job that you not only have dreamed of, but are now highly prepared to take.

All undergraduate and graduate programs in the College of Education at Butler University are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and the Indiana Office of Educator Licensing and Development (OELD).
