Transition to Teaching

Licensure Preparation

A Program for College Graduates who want to Become Teachers

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. We have two versions of the program: a fully remote program for working adults, especially geared toward those already working in schools, or daytime in-person coursework with traditional field placements.

Whether in person or online, 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
  • State and national recognition and accreditation
