The Elementary Education Program at Athens State University, leading to a Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.) degree with a major in Elementary Education, is designed to prepare educators to deliver developmentally appropriate instruction to young children in kindergarten through sixth grade. The degree prepares educators for public, private, church, and school settings. This program provides pre-service training in preparation for the class “B” certificate.

The College of Education offers 7 undergraduate teacher certification programs in addition to several secondary certification options. It has long had a proud tradition of serving as one of Alabama’s leading teacher education colleges.

Athens State’s mission, preparing teacher candidates to become reflective practitioners who are knowledgeable and collaborative professionals, ensures that we maintain focus on the importance of providing quality programs that meet the educational needs of ever-changing student populations. In accordance with our mission, continual assessment-based improvements are being made. Our goal is to provide rigorous yet flexible programs for students that encourage wider skillsets with multiple credentials.
