The Bachelor of Applied Science in Teacher Education (BAS-TE) is designed to allow students to earn a four-year degree with a K-8 certification.

Admission into the BAS-TE program is competitive. Meeting the minimum entrance requirements does not guarantee admission as the number of qualified applicants may exceed the number of enrollment spaces.
