This option is an undergraduate certification for either Elementary generalist (K-6), Secondary middle school (5-9), or Secondary (5-12). Candidates may qualify for admission if they meet the following criteria:

  • Bachelor's Degree with a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA from all colleges attended
  • Pass a basic skills assessment exam or approved alternative measure
  • Pass one or more content specific exams relevant to the subject of the license

The Elementary Certification-Only Option consists of a minimum of 67 credits (more may be required depending on the specialty area), and can be completed in as few as 5 semesters.
