Elementary Education + Teacher Licensure Fifth Year Program (for Vanderbilt students not majoring in Education)
Juniors at Vanderbilt University who decide to seek licensure in Elementary Education may apply during the end of their junior year to the master of education degree program. Upon acceptance, course work may be taken during the senior year that completes licensure requirements and degree requirements.
