Can I earn an accredited Bachelor Degree in Education online

[Miyamiwalles]

Hey everyone. I was just wondering if anyone knew of an accredited online university where I can earn a Bachelor Degree in Education? I would like to teach grades K-8. I would prefer to go to a state university but I guess I can't be to picky. Thanks for any info!

Yes, you def. can. Drexel has a great program- [link]
That will lead to certification in PA, but that is also transferable to any state (PA's standards meet most other states, so its not hard).

Another way to do it that may be even easier is to get a bachelors in another related field such as history, science, etc... Then, do a post masters certification/ alternative licensure/ and or masters degree program online (1 year). Thats how I did it- lateral entry- its not too hard to do and you end with a masters in teaching- pretty much all the north carolina schools allow you to do it that way.

Western Carolina University in NC also offers one for fairly cheap-

I went there for a year in person, its a quality school, and they jump you into a Masters Degree upon completion if your grades are above a 3.0- which can also be fully online if you so wish to continue.

Mississippi State also offers elementary ed online as well:

There are others out there- mostly at the elementary level, but you have to dig.

Hope that helps some!
