This 100 percent online degree program is delivered through Canvas, OSU’s online learning platform. Full-time enrollment is encouraged, but not required. Generally, students enrolled full time can expect to complete their degree in four years, which includes student teaching during the last semester.

GRADSCHOOL

Many of our graduates pursue a master’s degree to enhance their teaching and further their opportunities.

Curriculum

The online program follows the same curriculum as the on-campus elementary education program. Degree completion requires at least 124 credit hours, including general education courses, college/departmental courses, major courses, professional core courses and student teaching. After completing general education courses, students will begin education preparatory program courses during their sophomore year. The student teaching experience is designated for spring semester of the student’s senior year and will ideally be completed in the student’s local or neighboring community.
