Become a Teacher From Anywhere in Arizona.

The College of Education's Elementary Education online option lets you study from anywhere in Arizona. Choose asynchronous online courses you complete on your own schedule or synchronous live online classes that keep you connected with faculty and classmates in real time. Study full time and finish in two years, or part time over four. With fall and spring start dates, you can begin when you're ready.

You'll complete hands-on practicum each semester and student teaching in schools near you, so you graduate ready, not just certified.
