Transfer Students

Program Structure

Our undergraduate teaching degrees consist of two phases, the Pre-Major (first 90+ credits) and the Professional Level (final two years of the program). While in the Pre-Major, students complete prerequisite courses, general education, and courses to prepare for the content area they plan to teach.   

When they have completed the necessary criteria, students apply to the Professional Level (2 years), which consists of a practicum year observing in a classroom and a full year of student teaching year where students will participate in over 700 hours of mentored classroom experience!   

We highly recommend connecting with our Success Team early and often.
