Teacher Education Program
Admission and Completion Requirements
Before being admitted into the teacher education program, candidates must receive a passing score on the College Basic Academic Skills Examination (C-BASE) and achieve a grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Additional requirements and procedures are found in the Teacher Education Handbook.
All teaching certificate candidates are required to pass the Praxis before being allowed to student teach. If the Praxis is not passed, an Elementary or Middle School major who has met course and hour requirements could graduate with a degree in education without certification. If the candidate pursuing content area certification does not pass the Praxis but specified course and hour requirements have been met, the candidate could choose to graduate with a degree in the content area.
