Acceptance to Teacher Education

As a teacher education candidate, you will be held to a high standard. Once you have met the requirements, you are eligible for admission into the Teacher Education program and may submit your online applications for practicum and student teaching field experiences. You must be officially accepted prior to taking Methods courses, and to be eligible for a practicum and student teaching.  You must meet the requirements listed below to be accepted into the Teacher Education Program. 
 
In addition, acceptance into the Teacher Education program is a prerequisite for most of the methods courses you will take during your pre-professional semester and before applying for a Practicum or Student Teaching field experience.
