Only Students who already hold a bachelor's degree may pursue teacher certification through our post-baccalaureate programs. These programs prepare students for teacher certification and do not result in a master's degree.
Students can seek certification in the following fields.
Technically, post-baccalaureate students are considered graduate students and so must apply to the Graduate School for admission. At the same time, they should apply for admission to the Professional Program by completing an application package for the Professional Program. The essay also asks the student to provide reasons for becoming a teacher and to describe experiences working with children. Applications are available outside Barnard Hall 248 or may be obtained by writing to the Dean of the School of Education and Professional Studies at Central. While the application packets differ from program to program, post-baccalaureate students must meet the 2.7 grade point average requirement.
