Teacher Preparation Program
Declaring a teacher education major doesn't mean you're admitted to the Teacher Preparation Program. All teacher certification majors must apply and be formally admitted to continue in the program. You'll apply in the semester you reach 45 attempted credit hours, after completing your freshman courses, earning at least a 2.5 GPA, and posting a clear criminal background check. Learn more in our Teacher Preparation Hub.
Transfer Students
See how your credits will transfer using the University's transfer credit database, and connect with the Academic Success Center for a smooth transition. In your first semester, you'll be advised by the Assistant Dean in our Office of Student Services. Learn about advising.
Graduate Admissions
The College of Education & Human Development offers master's and doctoral programs in education, counseling, and kinesiology, plus online graduate certificates.
