General Education Requirements
Students should consult with an advisor in the content specific department to ensure that they enroll in general education courses that meet both teacher licensure requirements, as well as general education courses required for graduation in the major.
Major/Licensure Content Requirements
Students should consult with an advisor in the content specific department to ensure that they enroll in content specific courses that meet both teacher licensure requirements and course requirements for the major. In addition, students should consult with a Department of Education advisor or licensure officer to ensure that the professional education requirements are met.
Licensure Only
Students holding a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution may complete requirements leading to a specific teaching license without completing a second baccalaureate degree. All general education requirements will be deemed as met, except those that are supportive to and/or prerequisite for courses required by a specific teaching license. Students with a baccalaureate degree should meet with a teacher education advisor or the Licensure Officer in the Department of Education for an evaluation of transcripts and development of a plan for completion of courses leading to a teaching license.
These programs are available for individuals who have graduated with a 4 year degree and are interested in pursuing requirements for a teaching license and not an additional degree.
