Teacher Licensure
Teacher Licensure
The Graduate program provides an opportunity for individuals who hold an appropriate bachelor's degree with a minimum cumulative 2.67 GPA from an accredited institution to achieve a teaching license. Most of our teacher licensure programs are self-paced so that you can take courses on a schedule that meets your needs. All of our graduate courses meet in the evening, Monday through Thursday during the academic year as well as during summer sessions.
