Elementary Education Major
The Elementary Education major who takes the required 8 credits in natural science, 5 credits in mathematics, and 3 credits in geography automatically meets the Bachelor of Science degree requirements of Evangel University. Elementary Education majors who want the Bachelor of Arts degree must include two semesters of a foreign language (or the equivalent as demonstrated by proficiency testing) in addition to the mathematics, science, and geography requirements. The science requirements must include one course in physical or earth science and one course in a biological science with both courses having laboratory components. The 5 credits of mathematics are met by MATH 120 and MATH 121.
Elementary Education majors must complete English Composition at the COMM 205 level. If the student tests into COMM 205, he or she need take only COMM 205 to meet the English Composition requirement.
Other General Education (Core Curriculum) requirements are identified on the Elementary Education degree sheet.
