Admission to Programs

 

Requirements and procedures for admission to an undergraduate teacher education program in the School of Education will be explained in detail in EDUC 212, Foundations of Education. Following EDUC 212, students must be officially admitted, in writing, into their undergraduate teacher education program prior to registration in EDUC 312, Effective Pedagogy.

Admission to programs includes the following criteria:

  • Cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
  • Completion of Math 100 or higher, English 101 (with a C- or Higher).
  • A graduation plan on file with the Academic Advisor. In addition to the advisement services available from the Academic Advisor, each education major is assigned a Faculty Advisor in the School of Education. The Faculty Advisor is available to answer questions regarding specific courses in the program, course content, career-related questions, or any other major-related issues.
  • Successful completion of EDUC 212 (C- or higher).
  • Passing scores on the PPST: Pre-Professional Skills Test (See the School of Education Academic Advisor for registration information and testing deadlines). Each PPST area may only be repeated once, unless special permission is granted by the Program Chair and Dean of the School of Education.
  • A completed application packet (Available from the Academic Advisor or Click Here for electronic PDF copy). Recommendation, determined by interview, by faculty in the appropriate School of Education department, with final approval by the Dean of the School of Education.
  • Courses in the major (transfer or taken on campus) older than five years by the projected graduation date will not receive credit.
    Meeting all minimum standards does not guarantee admittance into a teacher education program.
