The requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Education are specified in three areas: University general education, professional education and a teaching major. All students preparing to be teachers in early childhood, elementary, special education, middle or secondary schools, regardless of the major field, are required to complete the University general education program. Students transferring from other institutions are required to fulfill the equivalencies of these courses.

The Middle School Education Program at the University of Missouri includes degree programs that focus on preparing graduates to teach in grades 5-9. The College of Education does not currently offer a graduate degree specifically in Middle School Education.  However, we do offer Masters (M.Ed.) and doctorates (Ph.D) in the following areas.

  • Math
  • English/Language Arts
  • Science
  • Social Studies
  • Art
  • Music

We also offer a graduate degree in "Reading/Literacy Education" at the M.Ed., Ed.S., Ed.D, and Ph.D. levels.
