OVERVIEW
Any major may be used for
admission to a teacher licensing
program. However, since
elementary classroom teachers
need to be generalists with a
broad knowledge of subject
matter, an interdisciplinary Liberal
Studies degree is recommended.
On this page you will find seven
choices. Choose the one which fits
your interests and strengths.
