Overview

Careers in Elementary Education

You're in the right place if you are hoping to be an elementary school teacher. Our Elementary Education program at Andrews University is designed to prepare you for this meaningful career. What many students don't realize is that you'll actually be trained for many other jobs, too: jobs like grant writer, coach, tutor, nanny and more. That's because teachers develop great management and communication skills, qualities valuable to any employer.

You'll learn in and outside the classroom with our elementary education program. In the beginning, you'll take general education courses like God and Human Life. You will then take classes specific to your major/minor(s), as well as professional courses and requirements. Lastly, you’ll spend a few months as a student teacher.
