I'm passionate about becoming an elementary school teacher and I want to find the best colleges to study elementary education. Does anyone have suggestions on which colleges have the best education programs?
There are plenty of excellent options across the country to study elementary education. Here are some of the top ones:
- Vanderbilt University's Peabody College: Ranked number one by U.S. News & World for their education program, Peabody College offers a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education which focuses on both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, preparing students to serve diverse preschool to elementary school populations.
- University of Wisconsin - Madison’s School of Education: Recognized nationally for its education programs, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers a Bachelor of Science in Education, with a focus on early childhood and elementary education.
- Michigan State University: Their undergraduate teaching program offers an elementary teacher preparation pathway. MSU has a history of producing successful educators so it might be a good fit.
