Completion of the elementary teacher education program (with a passing grade on the “Elementary Education” test of the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification (MTTC)) leads to certification by the State of Michigan to teach all subjects in grades kindergarten to 5 and all subjects in grades 6 to 8 in self-contained classrooms. Passing the appropriate MTTC content area test also qualifies you to teach in a departmentalized program (grades 6 to 8) in the area(s) of your specialization (major or minors.)
The elementary education program consists of three components - General Studies, Professional Education Studies and Specialty Studies (a major or two minors.) Completion of a fourth component, the Lutheran Teacher Diploma requirements, certifies the candidate to serve in the teaching ministry of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.
