The University of Arkansas offers the Bachelor of Science (B.S.E.) degree in Elementary Education and the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree in Childhood Education. These combined degree programs constitute the University of Arkansas Initial Teacher Licensure Program in Childhood Education (pre-k through grade 4). Students who obtain their B.S.E. degree from the University of Arkansas will have completed the prerequisite course requirements for entry into the M.A.T. program. Students who obtain a bachelor's degree from another university and/or in a program area other than elementary education must have their transcripts evaluated by an elementary education program adviser to determine what deficiencies must be met before they can be considered for admission into the M.A.T. program. The M.A.T. degree program is a 33 semester hour program. To be recommended for licensure by the University of Arkansas, students must complete the M.A.T. degree program.
