Hello madison23-ga,
Below I?ve collected all the links for what it will take to enroll at
Northeastern University and complete an Elementary Education degree
with a teaching credential. Be sure to review the complete website of
the School of Education for full details.
You must apply to the College of Arts and Sciences and choose an
appropriate major. Next you must apply to the School of Education and
meet the requirements for an elementary teacher program. To qualify to
teach you also must complete a program of student teaching and pass
the licensure exam.
I?ve included most of the links here to give you the detailed
instructions on how to proceed. Alternately, you can browse through
the Northeastern University website to get an even more detailed
picture that includes information about the school, its academic and

Hello again madison23-ga,
You cannot choose your DOE content area requirements until you've
chosen your major. Northeastern University offers a wonderful array of
possible majors. I suggest that you explore your options by following
the links below. First, review the Core Curriculum for the selection
of courses you have to choose from to meet the basic arts and sciences
requirements.
http://www.cas.neu.edu/undergrad/aboutcore.html
Core Curriculum
http://www.cas.neu.edu/undergrad/core.html
Categories of Arts and Science Core Curriculum
After you have reviewed the core curriculum requirements you can go on
to explore majors.
http://www.cas.neu.edu/undergrad/majors.html
Northeastern, Undergraduate Majors, College of Arts
After you have selected your major from the two dozen or so offered,
you will have to select your courses with an eye to the Department of
Education content area requirements. There are far too many options
available to be able to list them all. Which ones you take may also
depend on scheduling and other issues. I suggest that you review the
links for the majors you?re considering and then see how the content
area courses can be incorporated into you schedule.
Once you?ve been accepted by the school you will have the opportunity
to get help from the advising staff.
http://www.cas.neu.edu/undergrad/advising.html
Undergraduate Advising
The College of Arts & Sciences has a multi-tiered academic advising
system with some advisers located in a central location called the
College of Arts & Sciences Center for Experiential Education and
Academic Advising (CEA) and others located in the College's
departments and programs.
All College of Arts & Sciences students have
-- a professional academic adviser located at the CEA/Dean's Office
-- a faculty adviser in the student's major department or program
-- a faculty experiential education adviser also in the student's
major department.
In addition, students who participate in the co-op program have a
co-op adviser, and students interested in going on a study abroad
program have access to a study abroad adviser in the CEA/Dean's
Office.
To find your ADVISER, click on the letter of your major:
Wishing you well for your academic and teaching career.
