Elementary Education B.A.

Your elementary education degree is the beginning of a rewarding career in teaching. Quality is important at the University of Sioux Falls, so all of the education degree programs we offer are accredited. In addition, our elementary education graduates receive their state teaching licenses and begin working as teachers in a variety of schools.

If teaching is your calling, the Fredrikson School of Education administrators and faculty will foster a servant-leadership mindset that will serve your future learners well.

You'll find the Christian foundation of your USF education degree program meaningful. The truth is that many elementary students, and their families, need teachers who truly care and live Christ’s teachings through their compassion, patience and action – all with the reputation of an accredited university behind you.

When you major in elementary education at USF, you’ll be prepared for your own classroom and whatever career decisions you make in the future:

• Teaching skills for immediate placement in a K-8 classroom
• Content knowledge, professionalism, diversity, specialty training and field experience
• Ability to work as an evaluator, collaborator, researcher, manager, cognitive mediator and servant leader in the elementary classroom
