POST-BACCALAUREATE TEACHER CERTIFICATION

The University of Nebraska at Kearney offers an on-line program for teacher certification. Individuals who have earned a bachelor's degree (or higher) in a high school subject area may use this option to become certified to teach in the state of Nebraska.

The on-line professional sequence consists of three, 6-credit hour classes and student teaching (depending on previous academic work completed, additional coursework may be required in the specific endorsement subject area of choice):

• TE 401 – Context of Education – 6 hours
• TE 402 – Professional Knowledge and Skills: I – 6 hours

• TE 405 – Transitional Student Teaching 2 (for holders of Transitional Certificates only)

Arrangements are made for participants to complete school-based field experiences for each of the courses in the sequence in their local or nearby school districts.
