Bloomington Programs

All School Settings Education Program

The All-School Settings programs are available in four areas, music, physical education,visual arts, and world languages. Successful completion of the program requirements requires meeting both academic content and performance-based standards, as assessed at different points by the respective schools and by state designated testing. The All School Settings education teacher license in Indiana mandates a content field; preparation at all student developmental levels from early and middle childhood, early and late adolescence, and young adulthood; and field experences in kindergarten, elementary, middle school/junior high or high school settings. The All School Settings program is divided into three main components: general education, subject matter specialty, and professional education. With the addition of electives, course work must total a minimum of 124 credit hours, as follows:

General Education 33 cr.
Professional Education 28-53 cr.
Subject Matter Specialty Studies 36-62 cr.1
Electives 0-22 cr.2
Total

124 cr.

Some courses used to satisfy general education requirements may also be applied to fulfill requirements for a subject matter specialty study. In such cases, the course may be used to meet all requirements to which it will apply, but the credit hours may be counted only once toward the total of 124 credit hours needed for a degree.

1 Credits vary—see subject areas for the specific number of credit hours required for each subject.
2 Approximate because subject matter concentration credit hours may be used to satisfy general-education requirements, leaving the need for more electives to reach 124 credit hours for graduation.
