The BSEd in Elementary Education is designed to prepare candidates to become able and responsive educators for students
in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Candidates will develop competencies through
classroom instruction, observation, and participation with elementary school students.
Program Admission Requirements
Formal admission into the educator preparation programs is separate from admission
to Augusta University. Only candidates who satisfy the following criteria will be
considered for admission into the BSEd in Elementary Educator Preparation Program:
- Completion of areas A-F (login to Jagtrax for specific requirements). All candidates
must complete EDUC 2110, 2120, and 2130 before entering the program.
- A minimum GPA of 2.5 (Regents) or a GPA of 2.5 (Overall) as a transfer candidate into
Augusta University.
- Successful completion of the Educator Ethics – Program Entry Exam (350). This assessment
is not scored but must be completed for program admission. In order to take the ethics
assessment, create or update your MyPSC account on the GaPSC website, choose Augusta University as your program provider and select option 7 as your reason for testing. In one to
two days, you will receive a testing link form ETS. This will allow you to both pay
and complete the assessment.
- Candidates will not be eligible for acceptance until they have submitted the Pre-Service Certification
application available from the Augusta University Certification Office in UH 345.
