Teaching is more than a career — it is a calling

Students who have completed this program are eligible for one tuition-free course and a 20% tuition discount.

Other students interested in the K-9 Education Program are encouraged to fill out the form and one of our admissions advisors will connect with you to discuss whether your experiences and academic backgrounds would be suitable to the completion of the K-9 Education Program.

Special Education License

Lakeland University has partnered with CESA 7, which allows Lakeland students pursuing a K-9 teaching license to add a K-12 Cross-Categorical Special Education license. Students who graduate with both licenses have more options when applying for teaching jobs, especially in areas of high need for most school districts.

Graduates will be licensed to teach in a regular education setting in grades kindergarten through 9, and in school districts that provides services to pupils in kindergarten through grade 12 with intellectual, emotional-behavioral, specific learning or other disabilities.
