Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd)

The Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) program at Indiana Aerospace University is a four-year degree designed for those who want to teach at the elementary level. It follows the standards set by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and focuses on building a strong foundation in teaching, classroom management, and child development.

What makes the program distinct is the opportunity to train within IAU’s own laboratory school. Students do not just study teaching methods. They apply them early, working directly with learners in a structured and supportive environment.
