Tech Communication | Class A Teacher Certification
Traditional Master's Program (Option B)
In addition to the requirements for the M.A. in English (or in lieu of them as described below under Non-Traditional Fifth-Year Program), a student seeking Class A teacher certification must meet the following requirements:
- Hold or earn a Class B Certificate before receiving the M.A. degree.
- Take 9 hours of graduate courses in education as specified by the Education Department which replace the thesis requirement; thus, of the 33 semester hours required, 24 are in English and nine are in education. Under provisions for strengthened subject matter programs, English courses may be taken instead of education courses if certain requirements have been met at the undergraduate level.
- * Hold or earn a Class B Certificate before receiving the M.A. degree.
Non-Traditional Fifth-Year Program
Those who have a B.A. or B.S. degree with a major or its equivalent in English, who have not taken more than twelve semester hours in teacher education (graduate or undergraduate), and who are interested in obtaining Class A (master's level) certification for secondary school teaching in English should consider the Non-Traditional Fifth-Year Program. See the description of the program in the Education section for more details. Contact the Education Department for preliminary advisement on admission and general program requirements. The English Department will assist in devising a Program of Study.
