The college requires 50 semester hours of general education courses and liberal arts courses for teacher certification. The remaining 14 hours may be chosen from the above areas or from religion and philosophy courses, and art or music courses pertaining to history, literature, or appreciation. With the exception of EDUC 150, the courses listed are only open to students who have been admitted to the teacher education program. The Kansas legislature has mandated that all teacher certification candidates must pass a Kansas Teacher Competency Test prior to Kansas Teacher Certification. This test is given periodically at various Kansas testing centers.
Students are responsible for arranging to take the test before applying for state certification.
