According to the University of Arkansas Department of Curriculum and Instruction, "The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers programs that prepare candidates for initial teacher licensure in Elementary Education (K-6). Admission to the Elementary Licensure B.S.E. is competitive and consists of a three-stage process; simply meeting the minimum admission requirements will not guarantee admission. Admission will be determined by the Elementary Education faculty."
