Undergraduate Offerings
Undergraduates can complete requirements for Massachusetts initial licensure as an elementary teacher (grades 1-6) and as an art teacher (grades Pre-K-8 and 5-12). The elementary licensure program is a Tufts joint program with the Departments of Education and Child Development. The art education licensure programs are a collaboration between Tufts University and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Students are encouraged to enroll in ED 001: School & Society and/or ED 99: Field Experience in Education prior to entering the teacher licensure program.

Admission to either program is contingent on evidence of competence in oral and written English, the attainment and maintenance of at least a 3.0 grade point average in the discipline, and the feasibility of completing the academic and professional courses required for Massachusetts licensure.

Undergraduates who are interested in undertaking the elementary or visual art licensure programs should meet with their program advisor during their sophomore year to ensure that all requirements for subject matter knowledge, as well as education courses, are completed.
