Minnesota needs great teachers! Become a licensed K-6 teacher with our bachelor’s degree program.

We call our state-wide Elementary Education BS program “DLiTE”, which stands for Distributed Learning in Teacher Education. DLiTE is an online, cohort-based elementary education teacher licensure program, spanning six semesters. Those who complete the program will earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. A cohort is made up of 35 students or fewer, who start in the same semester. This program is not 100% online. All required coursework in the program core is online, and students in each cohort meet in-person at North Hennepin Community College 2-3x per year for collaboration, live discussion and testing. These meetings are a mandatory component of the program. Orientation for Spring 2025 starts, will be hosted via Zoom.
