“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future." -Franklin D. Roosevelt

Welcome

Welcome to the Elementary Education Department of Roosevelt University.  We are a community of learners who seek to share our passion for teaching with others.  We believe in the goal of a free and exemplary education for all children.  We are dedicated to the values of social justice and global responsibility and believe that to this end all children must have the opportunity to experience a rich and personally meaningful education. 

The College of Education at Roosevelt University offers both a graduate and undergraduate program in elementary education leading to an Illinois Type 03 initial teaching certificate at both our Chicago and Schaumburg campuses. 

• Graduate initial certification program
     New Full-time Graduate Weekend Program in Elementary Education
• Undergraduate initial certification program

Students who currently hold an Illinois Type 03 (K-9) certificate and who are interested in graduate study in education, click here for information about the Master of Arts in Teacher Leadership program at Roosevelt.
