Wilmington University

The Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (K-6), one of Wilmington University's four undergraduate teacher preparation programs, combines educational theory and classroom practice into specialized coursework that satisfies the Delaware Department of Education's content knowledge requirements and qualifies our students to seek state licensure and certification as educators in Delaware's public and charter elementary schools. WilmU's graduates bring excellence in education to classrooms throughout Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic region. More than 3,500 of the state's teachers earned their bachelor's or master's degrees at WilmU, including 12 of the last 16 Teachers of the Year chosen by Delaware's Department of Education. In addition, about half of Delaware's principals and assistant principals have studied at WilmU. College of Education students develop their skills through comprehensive coursework taught by faculty members with real experience in the practice of teaching K-to-12 students and in the challenges that educators face in today's public schools. College of Education graduates, once employed, are rated by their principals and supervisors as uniquely prepared to design and lead effective learning experiences to diverse student populations.
