The Middle Childhood Education program at the College of Mount St. Joseph is both a major and a license which prepares individuals to meet the needs of students in grades four through nine. The student receives a liberal arts and sciences education in support of specific course work and field experiences at the middle grades level. The teacher education program is developmentally based and offers the preprofessional in-depth study in two concentration areas (selected from language arts, mathematics, science and social studies) as well as art and inclusive courses.
The program is accredited by the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) and approved by the Ohio Board of Regents (OBR). Licensure is granted by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE).
Preprofessional teachers who complete the middle childhood course work and field work are uniquely qualified to teach at the middle school level.
