Elementary Education (CEEB)
Due to high demand, the elementary education major has a restricted enrollment. A total of 90 elementary education applicants are admitted each year with admission decisions occurring in fall and spring. Applications are considered only if students have met all criteria noted in the Admission to Teacher Education. Fall semester 30 applicants are accepted and begin a cohort sequence the following spring semester; spring semester 60 applicants are accepted and begin a cohort sequence the following fall semester. Rankings for elementary education applicants are determined by the AU Core GPA and a professional interview which includes a review of a resume, a writing sample, and an interview. In addition to meeting all Auburn University GPA graduation requirements, candidates must also meet all ALSDE GPA requirements.
