All students choosing to pursue teacher licensure must complete the college’s general education requirements  as well as the individual department requirements for all majors.

Some content majors require specific course work for those ­seeking teacher licensure. Examples include the requirement for English candidates to complete EN 355: ­Introduction to ­General Linguistics, and for modern language students to have a language immersion experience. These additional ­requirements are identified in the appropriate section of the college catalog.

The primary advisor for all students is a member of the content department faculty.

Students (after deciding to pursue licensure in secondary education) meet with the director of teacher education and/or the coordinator of field placements for SEFE placement. From this point until completion of student teaching, students meet with the chair of education a minimum of once a semester to insure they are taking appropriate courses and fulfilling other experience requirements. The content department remains the primary advisor for these students.

In addition to the general requirements for all students in the Teacher Education Program, specific requirements for the various content areas are needed.
