Several paths are open to students who wish to obtain certification in elementary school teaching (kindergarten through eighth grade) or secondary school teaching (grades six through twelve).

Elementary Program. Students interested in earning an elementary school teaching certificate transfer to the School of Education, usually at the beginning of the junior year, for both a bachelor’s degree and certification.

Secondary Program. Students interested in secondary education can choose to remain in their unit (i.e., LSA) for their BA/BS degree and simultaneously complete certification requirements. Alternatively, secondary students can transfer to the School of Education, usually at the beginning of the junior year, and complete requirements for an education degree with a teaching certificate.

Interested students should study the Teacher Education Programs in Chapter VI of this Bulletin and contact the School of Education Teacher Education Office [1228 SEB, (734) 615-1528] for more information and application procedures.
