Post-Baccalaureate Programs Leading to Teacher Certification Only
Students who already hold a bachelor’s degree may pursue teacher certification through our post-baccalaureate programs.
These programs prepare students for teacher certification and do not result in a master’s degree.
Admission to a post-baccalaureate teacher certification Professional Program depends upon and follows admission to the
Graduate School. Post-baccalaureate students must meet all course and fieldwork requirements specified in particular teacher
preparation programs and governed by State of Connecticut regulations. This includes satisfying certain general education and
subject matter major requirements.
Post-Baccalaureate "Program of Study"
For students seeking certification in Art, a "Program of Study" is determined and filed with the advisor or chair of the
department. The "Program of Study" (that must be approved by the Graduate Office) ensures that all certification requirements
are satisfied and becomes a contract between the student and his or her adviser.
Post-baccalaureate students must meet the following general education requirements: at least
39 credits of liberal arts course work including a U.S. history survey course, and coursework in each of the following areas: English, mathematics, natural
sciences and social sciences, and one course in foreign language or fine arts. Coursework in developmental or life span
psychology is a prerequisite for the Professional Program.
