Grand Canyon University’s Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education degree program prepares students for a career as a K–8 elementary teacher and to seek initial licensure.

Earning this degree serves as a pathway for entering the field of education to lead in children’s mental, emotional and social development, as well as to provide students with a foundation in early basic academics (like math and reading). At this stage, teachers are responsible for identifying their students’ strengths and weaknesses. Based on those insights, teachers will tailor content, activities, and projects that meet diverse student needs and interests.

Other reasons why educators choose GCU include:

Initial teacher preparation options for bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education
Field experience, exam preparation and student teaching opportunities
100% online* for independent, self-paced learning

GCU has continually earned regional accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and its predecessor since 1968.

For more than 70 years, GCU has been the gateway to success for countless scholars and industry leaders.
