The Department of Educational Studies: K-12 and Secondary Programs (KSP) prepares graduate students for initial licensure as professional educators in 5-12 and K-12 classrooms. The program emphasis is placed upon facilitating graduate students in strengthening and broadening their knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to function effectively as educators.
The Graduate Teacher Licensure Program is offered for those who have completed a Bachelor's Degree in a licensable field. Candidates entering this program have two options: a 5-12 or K-12 teaching certificate (Post-Baccalaureate), or a teaching certificate with a master's degree (Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT). The Post-Baccalaureate and MAT programs are accredited by NCATE and approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching.
NOTE: Licensure requirements and passing rates for the Praxis I & II exams can change at any time.
