Program Description

The Professional Elementary Teacher Education Program at Utah Valley University prepares candidates to teach grades K–8. Graduates who complete program and licensure requirements earn a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and are recommended for an Utah Professional Teaching License.

To remain in the program, students must meet all standards, including maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher, earning at least a B- in coursework, and demonstrating competence in fieldwork and student teaching. Candidates are also expected to uphold professional standards of integrity, responsibility, and citizenship.
