Students entering the teacher certification program are required to have a solid foundation in the liberal arts and sciences and a strong content major or area of concentration. We build upon these by providing coursework in pedagogy, coupled with supervised field experiences that allow students to put theory into practice. Candidates can complete the master's degree program part time or in an intense full-time schedule of one year. After receiving the master's degree, students complete the certification program with 13 weeks of student teaching. Supervised internships, which begin in September or January, are available throughout Connecticut for full-time students. Those who do not become interns complete an individualized field study. Candidates choose from two track options: elementary (K–6) or secondary (7–12) in language arts, social studies, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, general science, or business. Information sessions are held regularly throughout the year.
