Post-Baccalaureate Teaching Certification

Graduate Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program

The Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Preparation Program has been approved in select-degree fields for those holding a baccalaureate degree or higher degree from a regionally accredited institute of higher education but not yet eligible for a license to teach in the state of Georgia. Successful completion of all program requirements will result in recommendation for a renewable certificate. Admission requirements for the graduate post-baccalaureate teacher certification program include an earned baccalaureate degree or advanced degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education with an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher and admission to Graduate Studies. All students admitted to the program must establish and maintain a 3.0 grade point average for all graduate post-baccalaureate course work that applies to teaching licensure. In planning programs of study, transcripts for graduate post-baccalaureate students will be reviewed to determine the status of credits and proficiency in content areas. It is highly recommended that students participating in the graduate post-baccalaureate program apply for Admission to Candidacy in the department of Mathematics before the end of the first semester of enrollment, and required before completion of the second semester.
