Students who have an AAT degree or equivalent coursework are able to take the upper-level classes they need to complete a BS in Elementary Education in Nevada and Neosho by interactive television. All lower-division prerequisites are available from Crowder College’s Nevada campus. Completion of the degree allows students to be certified to teach grades 1-6 in any subject, with a middle school endorsement (grades 6-9) in various subjects (if the appropriate electives are chosen). This program operates on a cohort model with a new group of students starting each fall.
