Teaching Licensure Opportunities at Concordia University-St. Paul

In an ongoing effort to support education in Minnesota, Concordia University, Saint Paul is proud to offer two different degree programs that offer opportunities for initial teaching licensure in elementary education. These two programs also happen to be eligible for Grow Your Own (GYO) tuition assistance for students – we’re thrilled to share some information on what we have to offer!

CSP Global is dedicated to aiding school districts thrive and work towards easing the effects of the teacher shortage many districts are facing. Together we hope to recruit and prepare local community members to enter the teaching profession and teach in their communities.

The two programs that are eligible for GYO tuition assistance include:

The BA K-6 is available now – MAT K-6 starts March 10th! Applications are open now and can be completed here.

We’d love to answer any questions you may have, so please feel free to give CSP’s office a call at 612-806-0684 or email Cortney Lamb directly at clamb@graduateprogram.org.
