In addition to the general college requirements, each candidate for a baccalaureate degree in elementary education must complete 42 credit hours in professional course work. These courses commence late in the sophomore year, and it is recommended that they be taken in the following sequence: Education 111, 101, 121, 134, 161, 135, 139 or 140, 137, 112, and 102.

This requirement can be satisfied by completing 40 credit hours in one academic area, or two lesser areas of concentration of 20 hours each. A student selecting a 40 hour concentration should follow the catalog requirements for an academic major. Those selecting the 20 hours concentrations should consult their adviser in elementary education. Both lower and upper division courses may be used in completing these fields. The fields from which the elementary teacher candidate may select to complete his 40 credit hour or 20 credit hour concentrations are as follows: English French German Spanish Art Music Speech and Theatre Arts Botany Zoology Chemistry Mathematics Physics History Political Science Psychology Sociology Physical Education "Child Development '•Geography '-"Library Science "Only 20 credit-hour concentrations provided. STUDENT TEACHING Student teaching (Education 137) is taken in selected public elementary classrooms under the direction of the classroom teachers and the college supervisors. The Program of Professional Laboratory Experiences is coordinated by W. Blair Low. This experience is on a full-day basis for a complete quarter. Assignments are made with consideration for the students' background, grade preferences, living accommodations, and the needs and wishes of personnel in the cooperating schools. In general, the student takes this course the fall or winter quarter of the senior year. Student teaching is to be completed prior to the final quarter. Advanced students, who have completed the prerequisites, will be permitted to do their student teaching the last quarter of the junior year, Education 111, 101, 121, 134, 161 and 135 are prerequisites to student teaching.
