This program introduces students to the fundamentals of teaching in the preschool and elementary school classrooms. In addition to the Arts & Sciences Core, the Bible & Theology Major, and the Interdisciplinary Studies (Integrated Early Childhood Education PreK-3rd) Major, this program includes general education courses and professional studies in early childhood development, child psychology, educational philosophy, special education, and specialized teaching methodologies. This program includes a “fifth year” in which students earn a Master of Arts in Holistic Education and complete their licensure. Learn more about this program here.
All four-year Johnson students complete two majors: one in Bible and Theology and one in their chosen field, such as Integrated Early Childhood Education. Transfer students with substantial prior coursework may complete a reduced set of Bible and Theology requirements instead of the major. Learn more about the Bible and Theology curriculum here.
