Adult or nontraditional teacher programs admit those students who need to complete a bachelor’s degree while earning their license. To gain admission, students typically must show evidence of semester credits (usually 60 or more) toward completion of a degree from a regionally accredited college or university. Once admitted, they can often complete their elementary education degree in five semesters (20 months).

To determine the best program for you, talk to the admissions counselor at your school of interest.
