This process usually entails a minimum of three fifteen-credit semesters. The State of Vermont and the Adult Degree Program require that students pursuing Teacher Licensure must have a liberal arts major and maintain at least a B average. Upon acceptance to the program, the University Licensure Officer conducts an individualized assessment of the candidate s records and transcripts and determines which competencies and requirements have yet to be acquired and how many semesters will be required to earn licensure. Very often students enroll in a post-baccalaureate Writing semester in order to prepare for an M.F.A. program or to develop their skills. The application process for this program is the same as for undergraduates, but post-baccalaureate students are assured their choice of faculty in order to concentrate on specific writing skills.
Students can specialize in poetry, short story, novel, memoir and other areas.
The application process is the same as for regular students. Once enrolled, however, post-baccalaureate students receive special status. As a post-baccalaureate student, you should discuss your ideas, plans and needs with several faculty members in order to ensure a broad perspective, but when students are assigned to particular study groups, the program will honor your first choice of faculty.
