Elementary Education Middle School Option Area

Many Elementary Education, BS  graduates teach in upper elementary (grades 4-8) or middle school (grades 7-8). The following Option Areas provide candidates with a greater depth of knowledge than can be attained within a broadfield Elementary Education, BS  Major alone. To increase their hiring options, the Education Department strongly recommends that all Elementary Education, BS  majors complete either an additional Major or a Minor which leads to licensure in Montana, the Early Childhood Education: Prekindergarten-Grade 3 Minor  or one of the Middle School Option Areas listed below. These Option Areas do not lead to licensure, and must be taken in conjunction with the Elementary Education Major.

Any of the Middle School Options may be combined with the Elementary Education, BS  major. Any education minor may be combined with any education degrees

Social Studies Middle School Option

A “Social Studies Middle School Option” transcript notation is available only with the Elementary Education, BS  degree.
