Notes:

The Elementary Education/Special Education K-12 (Dual Licensure) degree plan requires 133 hours. Due to state licensure requirements, the Elementary Education/Special Education K-12 (Dual Licensure) degree plan does not include electives. Students take only 12 hours during their senior second semester because of the intensity of the work load for student teaching. Because this degree plan consists of 133 hours, one summer semester is required.
