Admission to the Educator Preparation Program (EPP)

A pre-candidate who plans to follow teacher preparation programs must, in consultation with their advisor, be admitted to the Educator Preparation Program. Pre-candidates should work closely with their advisor to determine when all criteria have been met. Please click here to find the CEHP Undergraduate EPP admissions requirements.

Science of Reading Requirements

Candidates are required to show awareness of Science of Reading standards at program exit. This can be shown in two ways: EDUC 4203 – Strategies for Content Area Reading or EDUC 4113 – Reading Diagnostics. These courses are aligned to the awareness level of the Science of Reading standards. Click here for a copy of the form pre-candidates sign at admission. These courses have been previously approved by DESE. Candidates are required to take one of the courses to meet Science of Reading awareness as part of their program of study.

Licensure Requirements

Candidates will not be eligible for a standard license until exiting from the program and meeting all exit requirements. Candidates will work with the Admissions, Field Experience, and Licensure Office to complete the necessary licensure paperwork.

Exit Requirements

Candidates will need to successfully complete the program with a 3.0 GPA and proof of pedagogical, content, and FOR training completed. For standard licensure at degree completion, candidates will need to have taken and passed the Praxis Mathematics Content Assessment (5161) and program-approved pedagogical assessment.
