The Middle Childhood Education program prepares students to teach grades four through nine.We prepare students to teach, change lives, and impact communities. The Middle Childhood Education (MCE) Program is both a major and a pathway to a teaching license. Students who pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree with an MCE major can be teachers for grades 4-9. Both a major and a license, the program allows students to focus on two chosen concentrations from the areas of language arts, mathematics, science or social studies.

The program is nationally accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and approved by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). Pre-professional teachers who complete the middle childhood course work and field work are uniquely qualified to teach at the middle school level.
