Education Certification plus Master of Education or Special Education

Certificate Requirements

TIP students may choose to take three to five of the required undergraduate course credits as master’s-level courses. After completion of the TIP certification program, students would then take the remaining five or seven M.Ed./M.S.E. courses to earn the M.Ed./M.S.E. degree.

TOP/FLIP students may complete three to eight of the required undergraduate course credits as master’s-level courses.

Graduate course options will be listed on the student's TCP transcript evaluation.

After completion of the TCP certification program, students would then take the remaining three to eight M.Ed./M.S.E. courses to earn the M.Ed./M.S.E. degree. Of the ten, EDU 598 and EDU 599 are mandatory.

Enrollment procedures for TCP certification plus M.Ed./M.S.E. Students

Initial admittance to TCP with current enrollment procedures through the director of the Teacher Intern Program.

Enroll in three to eight appropriate 500-level courses (use the TCP/M.Ed./M.S.E. course registration form, requires advisor's and graduate education director's signatures).

Upon completion of the student’s TCP certification requirements and confirmation of PDE Instructional I certification, the student will apply to the M.Ed. or M.S.E. program. The application fee will be waived since students will have already paid a TCP application fee.
