The Undergraduate Teacher Education Program at Emory & Henry College

Licensure options

Emory & Henry provides approved programs in elementary grades PK-6, which may with a few additional courses be expanded to include the middle grades 6-8, and secondary programs in a variety of teaching majors. Each of our programs meets or exceeds the requirements for licensure in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Each program is described in detail in the college catalog, available on line or upon request from the Admissions Office.

Students who wish to teach in the elementary grades choose from three interdisciplinary majors that combine English and language arts, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics. Each of the three majors is named for its primary focus, but each also incorporates significant work in the other fields. These majors include:

• Interdisciplinary English
• Interdisciplinary Social Studies
• Interdisciplinary Mathematics.

Students planning to teach in secondary school, grades 6-12, choose from these majors:

• Biology
• Business
• Chemistry
