Concentration Electives
Choose courses from these disciplines: ART, BIO, CHM, COM, ENL, FRN, GER, GOV, HIS, MAT, MUS, PHY, PSY, SOC, SPN. All concentration electives should be taken in the same discipline.
To ensure maximum transferability into an Elementary Education program, concentration electives should be chosen based on where you would like to transfer. These courses fulfill requirements for the academic (second) major required for Elementary Education. The Elementary Education curriculum through the bachelor's degree has very few open electives so making course choices outlined here, and in consultation with a bachelor's institution curriculum, insures that most students will meet the required bachelor's coursework in 120 credits.
