Required Sequence for Full-Time Students

Please Note:
This 37 credit program of study will take a minimum of two years (two fall semesters and two spring semesters) for students required to student teach.

Because required courses must be taken in sequence, students who begin their studies in the spring semester and/or study part-time will take longer than four semesters to complete the total program. Summer study will reduce credit hours during subsequent fall and spring semesters, but will not reduce the minimum number of (4) semesters required for completion.
