(At most one course with a C- or lower among the courses listed under preparation for the major, and at most one course with a C- or lower among the courses listed under the major is permitted. If a course is repeated, the highest grade will count.) Certification must be achieved before student teaching.

Students who qualify for admission the summer prior to their junior year must have a GPA of 2.67 or better, passing scores on the CBEST, a documented field experience, and complete program application.
