The Department of Teaching and Learning is dedicated to preparing students to excel as elementary teachers. Students who complete this program will earn a bachelor’s degree and be licensed as a K-8 teacher by the State of Nevada.

Note- Some of our majors have specific courses that you must complete with certain grades before you are allowed into the 300- and 400-level classes in our program. You are in "pre" status until these requirements are fulfilled and you have a cumulative UNLV GPA of 2.5. Once you complete the "pre" courses in which you must get C's or better in all SW classes and have at least a 2.5 GPA, you must apply to the program in order to become a full major.
