School of Education

The Education programs in Early Childhood (PreK – Grade 2) and Elementary (Grades 1-6) Education are dedicated to the Endicott mission of combining theory and practice. Toward this end, the programs offer an undergraduate curriculum that combines rigorous coursework with extensive classroom experience, beginning in the freshman year and continuing every year until graduation. All Education students complete the Liberal Studies Teacher Licensure major, which provides them with a knowledge base in the arts and sciences as well as education. Within the Liberal Studies Teacher Licensure major, coursework in either Early Childhood (PreK – Grade 2) or Elementary (Grades 1-6) Education is pursued. Classes in each are focused on the specific educational needs of the age group, including special needs, literacy, creative arts, math, science, technology, and children’s literature. Upon graduation, Endicott Education students have completed all of the requirements necessary to receive an initial license in the state of Massachusetts and are eligible to pursue licensure in many other states.
