Middle Childhood Education Language Arts & Natural Science

The Bachelor of Science in Middle Childhood Education degree, at the University of Cincinnati, prepares students for teaching in grades 4-9, in two subjects, and also for working as special education intervention specialists in mild to moderate K-12 settings. This dual-licensure program is dedicated to preparing teachers for meeting the needs of all students in diverse settings.

Our Middle Childhood Education program with a concentration in Language Arts and Natural Science prepares our graduates to create and implement research-informed and engaging curriculum, manage productive learning environments, and support the academic, social, and emotional needs of learners. Language Arts covers reading literature and informational texts, listening and speaking, and writing. Natural Science includes earth and space science, life science, and physical science. Students with a middle childhood education degree in these concentrations will be comfortable and confident in their abilities to teach students in these areas.

Graduates of the middle childhood education language arts and natural science program may teach in public or private schools. The middle childhood license allows teachers to teach two licensure areas in grades four through nine. There are additional endorsements that allow teachers to teach in either or both of the additional licensure areas for grades four through six. Graduates of the middle childhood program usually elect to teach in Ohio, but graduates teach across the nation.
