To complete the pathway, the candidate must earn at least a grade point average of 3.00 on all University credits (120 hours), complete the required curriculum (major courses with a C or higher), be admitted to the Educator Preparation Program unconditionally, complete the Content Knowledge Praxis II in the area of licensure and the required pedagogy assessment. Candidates must be admitted to the Educator Preparation Provider (see the College of Education and Human Performance section of the catalog for more information) and meet all CEHP requirements.\r\nAdmission to the Educator Preparation Program (EPP)<\/h4>\r\nA pre-candidate who plans to follow teacher preparation programs must, in consultation with their advisor, be admitted to the Educator Prepration Program. Pre-candidates should work closely with their advisor to determine when all criteria have been met.\r\n
Licensure Requirements<\/h4>\r\nCandidates 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.\r\n
Exit Requirements<\/h4>\r\nCandidates 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.\r\n
