The Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education at Sterling College Online challenges students practically as well as intellectually. The program, a continuation of the Sterling Teacher Education Program (STEP), has a history of excellent results for our students taking assessments required by the state for licensure.

Students graduating from this program will be prepared to obtain K-6 licensure. The K-6 licensure allows graduates in Elementary Education to teach in a self-contained elementary classroom. A service project is a required component of the Elementary Education major. The training and placement of tomorrow's teachers lies at the heart of the Teacher Education program and is the ultimate goal of the program. Currently, program expansions at the secondary and endorsement levels are being researched.

This program is offered in a carousel format. Our unique carousel approach allows new students to join the program every eight weeks. Once a student completes the requirements of a carousel, he/she moves immediately to the next level, enabling degree completion without delay. This program is offered online with opportunities for student teaching in your area.
