Elementary Education Program
The UC Blue Ash Pre-Elementary Education program is designed for those interested in teaching children in various pre-kindergarten through 5th-grade settings, including preschools, Head Start programs, child-care centers, and public and private schools.
This program will help you understand the complex human and social factors involved in educating young children, as well as practices that build a foundation for lifelong learning.
A bachelor’s degree in education is the minimum requirement to become a teacher. As an associate degree program, UC Blue Ash offers freshman and sophomore coursework with the expectation that students will transfer to UC Clifton to complete their preparation and earn a bachelor’s degree.
