Are You Ready to Touch the Future? Are You Ready to Teach?
Advisement, Admission to the Program
and Student Teaching
Students begin their journey immediately at the University with the opportunity to enroll in initial teacher education courses that incorporate practical experience in K-12 schools as early as their very first semester!
Planning & Advisement
Early and consistent communication with faculty
advisors is essential to successfully completing a college
degree. All teacher education programs are designed to be
completed in 8 semesters, but there are very specific courses
students must take, many of them in a designated order. It is
important to contact the education department to obtain the
necessary advisement forms and to be assigned an advisor as soon
as students arrive on campus.
Admission to the Teacher Education
Program
Admission into the program is
separate from admission into the University. The teacher
education admission process is completed during one of the early
professional education courses called ED 301: Frameworks of
Teaching, usually taken during the sophomore year. Requirements
prior to admission include completion of 45 college credit hours
and a minimum 2.6 cumulative GPA. After admission, students
continue to take the remaining professional education courses
along with their major courses.
Student Teaching
Students engage in this exciting and
multi-faceted field experience during their final semester of
the program. During the entire semester, students work along
side a master teacher all day, every day in order to bring
together all of their knowledge and skill as beginning teachers.
Groups of student teachers and their cooperating teachers work
together to form learning communities in partnership schools to
best meet the needs of all the children. Requirements prior to
student teaching include completion of all other required major
and minor courses as well as passing the state licensure exam.
