Entry requirements

Admission to the Teacher Education Program requires a formal application and multiple assessments as students progress. Candidates must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 and a minimum GPA of 3.0 in each teaching major (including teacher education courses); any professional education course graded C‑ or lower must be repeated. Program assessments include an interview and on‑demand reading and writing evaluations. Admission to student teaching is applied for one year prior to the student teaching semester and requires maintaining the GPA thresholds, completion of a lesson plan assessed by School of Teacher Education faculty, and other program assessments.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for roles in elementary, middle, and secondary classrooms as mathematics teachers and special education teachers, and may move into positions such as instructional coordinator, education administrator, or career/technical education teacher. The programme’s licensure focus supports entry into P–12 teaching careers.
