Arkansas Baptist College's Education programs prepare you to make a lasting impact on the lives of children. Begin with the two-year, 63-hour Associate of Arts in Education — which qualifies for the AR Futures grant for eligible applicants — and continue seamlessly into the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, a comprehensive 120-hour program.
Our Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education is in the process of being accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), ensuring you receive a high-quality education recognized by schools and employers. The curriculum combines foundational courses in child development, instructional strategies, and classroom management with practical experience through a two-semester teacher residency.
All courses in the Associate of Arts in Education are fully transferable to the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, allowing you to advance your education without losing momentum.
