  • If you’ve earned 45 credit hours prior to your fourth semester, you’re strongly encouraged to enroll in SEC 302 earlier. This is because earning a C or higher in SEC 302 is required for admission to teacher education. Admission to teacher education is required to continue taking professional education courses in subsequent semesters.
  • Juniors who have earned a 3.25 cumulative GPA are eligible to apply to the Accelerated English BSEd-MSEd degree program. After you’re admitted to the program, you may take up to 12 credit hours of mixed credit courses, which fulfill both undergraduate BSEd and graduate MSEd program requirements. Mixed credit (accelerated MSEd courses) effectively enables you to double-dip.
  • ENG 312, ENG 520 and ENG 521 and ENG 400 or 500-level listed below have accelerated English MSEd course equivalents. You’re encouraged to speak with an advisor about the application and registration process prior to your fifth semester.
  • Students are strongly encouraged to take and pass the MoCA exam (#020) prior to their seventh semester. Apply for student teaching. Applications for spring student teaching are due August 1. (Applications for fall student teaching are due February 1.)

120 total credits are required for graduation. Students who have transferred in elective credit may not need to take elective credits. Students are encouraged to review their Degree Audits and speak with an advisor to verify.
