B.S. in Elementary Education with an Emphasis in STEM
Grand Canyon University’s Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with an Emphasis in STEM prepares students to become the teachers who can fulfill these roles. Students will learn how to integrate STEM into the classroom with an interdisciplinary approach, promoting problem solving and creativity through inquiry and project-based, hands-on learning for elementary learners. Not only will this program prepare students to teach STEM, but it will expose students to today’s most in-demand occupations in STEM-related fields. This way, educators can introduce STEM career awareness early on in a student’s education and foster the early stages of learning in these areas.
Aligned with the Arizona Department of Education, the BS in elementary STEM education program supports GCU’s mission to produce career-ready graduates who can bring effective STEM education into schools and classrooms. This program is inclusive of elementary and middle schools and is designed for those seeking initial teacher licensure. Curriculum is regionally accredited and approved by the Arizona State Board of Education. Courses meet the standards of the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC), Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI) and International Society for Teaching in Education (ISTE).
