BS in Human Sciences - Elementary Education

Our Interdisciplinary Generalist program is dedicated to preparing future EC-6 classroom teachers who understand how to provide positive and productive learning environments and engaging and developmentally appropriate instruction that is respectful for diverse learners in public, private, or charter school classrooms.

Because of our faculty members’ past teaching, administrative, or regional consultant experiences, the Interdisciplinary Generalist program's mosaic is highlighted with reality while learning how to apply researched-based theories. Through the various hands-on learning experiences with HSU faculty members, local certified educators, and administrators, our HSU Education majors develop a personal and professional teaching philosophy that targets the whole child – socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically.

The Irvin School of Education provides life-long learning opportunities through innovative and reflective scholarly experiences for undergraduate and graduate students. Through thoughtful engagement in discovering new ideas or solutions, students develop a passion for personal and professional transformation through physical and mental health, education, technology, science, service, leadership, and community. Irvin supports excellence in scholarly pursuits that explore complex issues related to education and leadership among individuals, families, educational institutions, and our global society.

Our mission is to prepare transformative leaders, educators, global citizens, and excellence in research, education, and science. We are dedicated to building a community and providing excellence in education enlightened by Christian faith and values.
