The Youth Services concentration in Integrative Studies, which doesn't lead to licensure, doesn't mandate acceptance into the Teacher Education Program (TEP). However, students must maintain a 2.25 GPA, earn at least C- in all major courses, and complete 45 upper-division credit hours to graduate. The University of Memphis' Ready2Teach Educator Preparation Program, holding national accreditation and recognition, is shaping the future of PreK-12 education. We've enhanced admission and graduation requirements, revamped our curriculum for practical application, established collaborations to place candidates in yearlong Residencies with top educators, and require candidates to prove teaching competence through edTPA - a nationally evaluated performance assessment aligned with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
All students, both freshmen and transfer, must apply online for admission as an undergraduate student.
Applicants should upload a copy of their unofficial international transcript or marks sheet (high school/secondary or college/university) using our secure document upload system.
All international transfer applicants must have their international documents evaluated by a US credentialing agency that holds membership with the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).
