Concentration Area In addition to the general education and professional education requirements, each elementary education major must choose, with his or her advisor, an area of concentration with a minimum of sixteen credits. A second option would be to choose two concentrations with a minimum of eight credits in each. Acceptable areas of concentration include biology, chemistry, English, history, mathematics, music, physical education, middle school, early childhood, and special needs. Other areas may be acceptable with the approval of the chair of the Education Department. The “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) legislation may require program modifications as will the common core curriculum. Requirements and Suggested Sequence for the Early Childhood Education Concentration The elementary education major wanting to teach pre kindergarten and/or kindergarten must take the coursework for the ECH concentration listed below. This will allow them to obtain a kindergarten endorsement along with their elementary education major. Only elementary education students may take this entire concentration, which includes student teaching. 182
