Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Elementary Education - Special Needs] From Purdue University - Northwest

You will build skills in teaching while you develop an understanding of development theories, best practices and the newest research in the field. Courses are offered in a sequence that you will follow through a series of stages. You must follow this sequence as you prepare your plan of study and as you advance through the Teacher Education Program.

All teacher education program courses are developmental, meaning that much of what you learn in one sequence of courses will be used in the next sequence of courses. You will gain knowledge and then be expected to perform based on that knowledge.

Although you can take the education courses one by one, you cannot take a course in the next semester?s sequence until you have satisfactorily completed courses in the preceding semester. No exceptions will be considered. This is important to keep in mind as you schedule your courses, especially if you must maintain full-time student status ? 12 credit hours ? to quality for financial aid and other programs.
