This calendar-year program provides research-backed, hands-on teaching experience through comprehensive coursework and field placements. It equips participants with the knowledge, abilities, and mindset needed to effectively educate in culturally and linguistically diverse urban classrooms. Upon completion, graduates will qualify to teach students in grades 7-12 at middle and high school levels. The program mandates field placements in local schools, which require all university students to clear a criminal background check. Failure to pass this background check will result in the inability to fulfill program requirements and revocation of admission offers.
Students must have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or a comparable degree from a foreign academic institution. A grade point average of at least 3.00 in upper-division (junior- and senior-level) coursework and in any graduate work already completed.
The minimum scores considered acceptable for admission by the Graduate School are:
TOEFL: 79 on the Internet-based test (iBT)
IELTS: An overall band of 6.5 on the Academic Examination
Application deadline: December 01 for fall
