Prepare to Lead in Elementary Education

The online Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education prepares you to lead a K-6 classroom and make a real difference from day one. Delivered through a cohort model, you’ll move through coursework alongside the same group of future teachers, building the kind of professional connections that last well beyond graduation. With one start date each fall, the program creates a focused, connected path straight toward earning your North Carolina teaching license. Grounded in UMO’s values of honesty, integrity, and respect, you’ll graduate ready to lead a classroom with confidence and purpose.

Practical Learning for Classroom Impact

You’ll learn how to spot each student’s strengths, adapt lessons to fit different needs, and build a classroom where K-6 students are excited to show up and learn. Beyond instruction, you’ll build the skills to motivate students, set clear behavioral expectations, and keep parents in the loop every step of the way. Field experiences get you into real classrooms early, working under experienced, credentialed teachers, before you take on a full 16-week student teaching internship. By graduation, you’ll be ready to sit for your licensure exams and step into a classroom of your own.

What can you do with a Degree in Elementary Education?

After completing your Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and obtaining licensure, you can pursue K-6 teaching positions in public, private, charter, or faith-based schools. This program also serves as a strong foundation for graduate studies. Career paths for graduates may include:

Reading interventionist or specialist

Teacher in public, private, charter, or faith-based schools
