Communication Disorders offers a 40-credit program in elementary
education and in middle school education. Students completing these
programs will be licensed to teach in Virginia with an endorsement in
nursery school and kindergarten through sixth grade (N, K-6) and/or
sixth through eighth grade (6-8).
The
Liberal Studies Major has been designed specifically for students
seeking licensure to teach with an Elementary or Middle School
Endorsement and is required. Requirements for the B.A. or B.S. Degree in
Liberal Studies are listed elsewhere in the Catalog. By carefully
planning each semester's course work, students can use their electives
to meet the requirements of the 40-credit elementary or middle school
education program.. After completing the degree and program
requirements, students receive a B.A. or B.S. Degree in Liberal Studies
and a license to teach with an endorsement in N, K-6, 6-8; or both.
Students
seeking teacher licensure and majoring in Liberal Studies will be
assigned an academic advisor in Liberal Studies or Education. Such

sophomore year and inform the Office of Registration that they will be
majoring in Liberal Studies and seeking teacher licensure with an
Elementary School Endorsement, a Middle School Endorsement or both .
