The LSEE curriculum is carefully articulated to provide interdisciplinary course work and in-school learning experiences that prepare students to teach at the elementary level (P-6). A number of general education courses are either required or recommended as electives to prepare for the core curriculum of advanced courses in this liberal studies major and the Extended Teacher Preparation Program that follows. In selecting the LSEE undergraduate major, students are also planning to enter in VCU's Extended Teacher Preparation Program, an 11 semester program (5.5 years) that includes the 8 semesters (4 years) spent as an undergraduate LSEE major. This program culminates with the student receiving a B.I.S. in LSEE and a Master's of Teaching at the end of the 11 semesters.
