Middle Grades Education Programs (6-9)

We educate prospective middle grades teachers and teaching professionals who will work with early adolescent students, providing a solid foundation in instructional practices that research suggests best support student learning.

We offer several options for people interested in middle grades education.  Undergraduates can enroll in a program to earn a Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.) degree along with an initial N.C. teaching license for grades 6-9. 

Middle grades teachers with earned undergraduate degrees in middle grades education may be interested in the Master of Arts in Education (M.A.Ed.) degree. Students who have earned bachelor degrees in a field other than education can choose to work on the Middle Grades Post-Baccalaureate Certificate.
