Overview

The B.S.Ed. in Middle Grades Education program at UGA prepares students to teach middle grades education in two content areas: Language Arts, Social Studies; Mathematics; Science.

Graduates of this program will be prepared for teacher certification in grades 4-8 through the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. This cohort-based program integrates hands-on experience to build subject-area knowledge and pedagogical skills and methods. School-based field experience is the heart of the program; students are placed in a middle-grades classroom with an experienced mentor teacher beginning in their first semester, building toward full-time student teaching in their last.
