If you are a freshman or sophomore, you would be able to complete all of your coursework through TT. If you are a junior, your program of study could be a “hybrid,” including some TT coursework and some coursework from the existing secondary education program, or you might consider one of our master’s certification programs. If you are a senior, we encourage you to pursue the Master's Certification (MCERT) or the Integrated Master’s Certification Program (IMCP). Juniors and seniors-- please speak to a master teacher who can refer you to a College of Education advisor or a contact for the master’s certification programs.
