Our nationally accredited Transition to Teaching program is for individuals with a bachelor’s degree who are interested in obtaining their initial secondary or elementary teaching license. All coursework is remote and uses a mix of independent work and cohort Zoom meetings to give you flexibility and dynamic interactions with your colleagues and professors. At the end of this program, you have the option of adding 13 additional credit hours for a second license in Teaching English Learners and a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT).

Whether in elementary or secondary education, all of our programs offer the following:

  • professors with P-12 teaching experience
  • individualized faculty advising and mentorship
  • coursework that integrates the most recent research on students, schools, and learning
  • an asset-based approach to students’ diverse backgrounds and abilities
  • the ability to carry out all field work in your current context (if already working in a school)
  • state and national recognition and accreditation
