The Elementary Teacher Preparation Program earns undergraduates a teaching license for kindergarten through sixth grade, and a Minor in Education from Duke. Our program prepares you for the critical thinking and decision-making that will be required of as a caring and reflective educator in K-6 classrooms. You will gain knowledge and skills needed to address the changing needs of elementary children and their families. Our curriculum includes work in technology-rich environments with diverse student populations.

The Student Teaching Internship is a valuable part of our program. It provides an abundance of support, but also the opportunity to experiment and hone your skills as an educator under the guidance of many supportive mentors.
Continuing Studies Scholarship
If you are an upperclassman, it is not too late to complete the program. There is an option of returning for a 5th year in order to complete the requirements for a professional teaching license. Please consider applying as a Continuing Studies Scholar in order to further your goals of becoming an effective educator for our youth.
