TCP Admission

To be considered for TCP admission, candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university.

Teacher Online Pathway Out-of-State Pathway also requires the candidate to be employed as a PK-12 teacher in the TOP certification area they want to earn. Candidate will earn Pennsylvania certification.

Acceptance will be granted based on an application process that includes: a review of the candidate’s application packet (official transcripts, reference letters, essay, resume, current clearances) and a successful interview with the director of the Teacher Certification Pathways. Successful candidates will be those who have acquired work and life experience transferable to classroom teaching, and who reflect potential for success in an early childhood (Pre-K-4), special education, middle-level, Pre-K-12 or secondary classroom. During the admissions interview, the student will receive an official transcript evaluation completed by the TCP director.

Once a FLIP candidate has submitted all required application materials and successfully completed the interview, the candidate will be officially accepted to FLIP program.
