Middle Level Education


Podium8

Inspire students to grow in maturity and wisdom.

Do you want to inspire middle school students through math, English, history, or general science? Perhaps you’d like to teach in both elementary and middle school settings. At Grove City College you can earn a middle school teaching degree that allows you to specialize in two different subject areas. You can also pair this with an additional major and certification in elementary education — a rare option in Pennsylvania. As a middle school education major, you will be ready to make a lasting impact on young adolescents and help them prepare for the challenges of high school and the teen years.

    • B.S. in Middle Level (4-8) Math & History Education (option with Elem Ed)
    • B.S. in Middle Level (4-8) Science & English Education (option with Elem Ed)

  • Personal access to highly accomplished faculty mentors, all of whom have experience teaching in K-12 settings.
  • Education Career Services (ECS) offering exceptional career development and networking opportunities for you — as both a student and alumnus of Grove City College. The ECS fosters relationships with private, public, charter, and international schools and other education employers.
