| Middle Childhood through Early Adolescence (approximate ages: 6 – 12 or 13) The Middle Childhood/Early Adolescence (MC/EA) licensure program leads to licensure in grades 1 – 8/9. The program includes a Bachelor of Science with an Elementary/Middle Education (BSE) major, an approved minor that may be licensable, and a wide range of professional education courses.

To qualify for a license to teach at the middle level, students with an MC/EA emphasis must complete all program courses, in a minor plus any additional licensure requirements for that minor. Special requirements for certain minors include the following (refer to descriptions of the minors as detailed in the UWW catalog).
