UTEP at Greenville University

The Undergraduate Teacher Education Partnerships (UTEP) allows students with an associate’s degree to earn a license to teach elementary school in Illinois, as well as a four-year bachelor’s degree from Greenville University. Students participate in online coursework and attend evening face-to-face workshops every other week at local community colleges. Students also accrue more than 300 hours of field experience in elementary classrooms.

UTEP is currently offered at Kaskaskia College (Centralia, IL), Lewis and Clark Community College (Godfrey, IL), Lincoln Land Community College (Springfield, IL), Lincoln Christian University (Lincoln, IL), and Southwestern Illinois College (Belleville, IL).
