After successfully finishing this degree program and submitting passing scores for the required licensing exams, you'll be eligible for initial teacher certification through the Hawaii Teachers Standards Board (HTSB), qualifying you to teach grades 6-12 in general education settings. The undergraduate programs combine a robust liberal arts curriculum 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 catalog year of their college admission, while licensure candidates must satisfy SATEP standards current at their program admission date. Note that SATEP requirements are subject to modification by the HTSB, and candidates must fulfill all licensure criteria in effect at their graduation date.

Qualification Requirements
To be considered for admission, you must have completed or are in the process of completing secondary school with a cumulative or overall grade point average (GPA) that is comparable to a US grade of B (3.00 on a 4.00 scale) or higher. The Admissions Committee will also be looking at the grades/marks you have received for Mathematics and Science courses.
All official transcripts, examination certifications (e.g., General Certificate of Education) and other documents showing all high school and any completed post-secondary work must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. All official transcripts must be mailed directly by the institution or Ministry of Education to the Office of Admissions. Documents mailed or hand carried by you or anyone else will not be accepted as official or used for admission consideration.
Secondary school transcripts must include a list of courses taken and grades/internal marks received each year, class rank for the last four years of secondary school, and an explanation of the school's grading system. If transcripts with annual internal marks are unavailable directly from the school, you may photocopy your mark sheets or grade reports and have them certified by a school official who verifies that a transcript is otherwise not available.
