Elementary Education – Panama City Campus
ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2024 and after) - Panama City, FL Campus
*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is ONLY available at the Panama City, FL campus. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
The FSU PC Elementary Education bachelor’s program is designed to prepare students to teach at the elementary grade levels (K – 6). The program accepts both Fall and Spring applications (July 29 for Fall admission or November 29 for Spring admission) The Educator Preparation application and admission requirements are available online at https://cehhs.fsu.edu/teacher-ed-admissions.
