Overview

The Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education program at Concordia University Wisconsin will prepare you work with children from birth through 9th grade in a variety of settings. Faith is integrated through every step, so communication, compassion, and love will aid you in your fulfilling future career with children.

Students who desire licensure in another state must contact their state department of education for details about whether or not this coursework will meet state requirements.

This program offers a Lutheran Teacher Diploma track if you’d like to pursue education as an LCMS church work professional. It also has a Christian Teacher Certification track if you’d rather pursue education in another Christian school setting.

Both tracks include an additional 9 credits of coursework to prepare you to teach religion and to integrate faith throughout the curriculum. Each track leads to a Wisconsin teacher license to allow you to serve as a Christian teacher in a public school as well

What to expect

In this program, you will work toward becoming a licensed early childhood educator, with options that would allow you to teach in Lutheran, Christian, or public school settings. During your time at Concordia, you will take classes in both liberal arts and early childhood education so that you will be well prepared to teach all subjects in an early childhood classroom.

Your program will include fieldwork, practicums, and student teaching to give you real experience and practice for your future vocation! Your early childhood education professors know you by name and prepare you for a career of lifetime satisfaction to make a positive impact on children’s lives.
