Elementary ed
Hey, I want to major in Elementary Education in College, but I want to know how many years of schooling there are in that.
I know you need 4 years of college, but also additional college. How many years will i have to be in college after the first 4 years? Thank you!

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
It's probably different for every state. Different states have different requirements for their teachers.
Where I live you have to get accepted into the TEP (teacher education program) as well as getting your 4 year degree. You also have to take a test after doing all this to assess whether you know enough about reading, writing, and math. Then you have to go through a few more steps to get a teaching license for your state.
You should be able to finish all this in four years though. Normally you can be enrolled in the TEP while you are in the process of getting your degree. For instance, at the college I am tranferring to, I will work on getting my Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences (the education bachelor) and then apply to the TEP. If I get accepted, I will do both at the same time. Then I will take the PRAXIS test (I think that's what it is called) and if I pass I can go get my teaching license after finishing up my 4 year degree. Then if you want, you can go on and get a Master's degree as well.
The best advice I can give you is to talk to your advisor or guidance councelor and then check out the website of the college you plan on attending. Usually they will have some general information on the major you are wanting.
Good luck!
