Montana Christian College

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

The Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Education: Elementary  will prepare students for a career in elementary education while integrating a biblical worldview into their classroom with current and research-based techniques. You will be able to enter a class with confidence and help your students learn practical skills. This degree is designed to prepare students to successfully implement proven pedagogical methods and to equip students to practice a biblical philosophy of education, preparing them to serve in Christian schools locally and globally. Students will develop skills as reflective practitioners, enabling them to foster learning that reflects current practice and care for students. This degree is not currently designed to meet the licensure standards set by the state of Montana. It does meet the Association of Christian School International requirements for ACSI Certification. Montana Christian College cannot determine whether a particular licensure program meets the requirements outside of Montana. Students seeking licensure in another state are advised to contact the appropriate licensing board in that state to determine specific requirements or guidelines for reciprocity. (120 hours)

In addition to General Studies Requirements and Biblical & Theological Core Studies, students will take 45 credit hours of professional studies in the following courses.
