After successfully finishing this degree program and submitting passing scores for the required licensing exams, you'll be eligible for recommendation to the Hawaii Teachers Standards Board (HTSB) for initial teaching certification to instruct grades 6-12 in general education settings. The undergraduate programs combine a solid liberal arts background with professional education coursework, subject-area specialization, teaching methodology training, and hands-on classroom experience. Enrollment in most teacher preparation courses requires classified status within the College of Education, with many also needing admission to State Approved Teacher Education Programs (SATEP). Detailed requirements for elementary and secondary Bachelor of Education programs, along with SATEP criteria, can be obtained from the College of Education's Office of Student Academic Services (OSAS). Students must complete all degree requirements based on the academic year of their college admission. Those seeking licensure must satisfy SATEP standards current at their program admission date. Note that SATEP requirements are subject to modification by the HTSB, and licensure candidates must fulfill all requirements in effect at their program completion.
