Curriculum

“Here at Carolina University, our Education program is organized, efficient, and intentional. The professors are caring and dedicated, always encouraging us to not give up. The classes are both challenging and rewarding, and I always finish them with a renewed sense of why I want to be a teacher!”

— Grace Hazelwood

Graduates of this program will be fully prepared to teach in diverse settings such as private schools, Christian schools, and beyond. They will have met all requirements to receive Elementary Licensure from the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), a widely recognized credential for Christian educators.

While this degree track is not specifically designed for North Carolina state licensure, it provides a broad and versatile foundation, equipping graduates to teach at multiple educational levels—from early childhood to elementary to high school—in a variety of private, Christian, and alternative education settings. For students interested in obtaining North Carolina state licensure, our program offers a flexible pathway. Beginning with the BS in Education, students may opt for a dual-enrollment program with Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) starting in their junior year. Students who earn the degree from WSSU can be recommended for North Carolina State Licensure.
