Teacher Certification
Majors & Minors
Why choose Teacher Certification?
Alternative routes to teacher certification are state-defined pathways through which an individual who already has at least a bachelor’s degree can obtain certification to teach without necessarily having to complete a college, campus-based teacher education program. These programs offer the opportunity to gain provisional teacher certification and classroom experience. These routes usually take one of two different forms, Teaching Residency Programs and Teaching Fellowship Programs. It is strongly recommended that interested students carefully research specific programs to determine their eligibility, the time commitment each program requires beyond certification, and the target organization’s ongoing support for professional development.
