Overview

The combination of rigorous coursework and extended classroom experience in the Elementary Education (with Concentration in Integrated Arts) course from Frostburg State University has resulted in our graduates being sought-after to fill teaching positions in school districts throughout the region.

In 2013 FSU was approved as the first college or university in Maryland to offer an elementary/middle dual certification program for those wanting to concentrate on middle school education in grades 4-9. Students who choose this option will be eligible for certification in grades 1-9. The Frostburg program is the only program in Maryland to offer dual certification in this area.

Use our individualized concentration option to build your own degree program around specific teaching interests, such as foreign language, or technology.

Be part of an elementary education program with a high rate of graduate placement in regional Maryland schools.
