The professional education sequence in K-12 leads to a Professional Educator License (PEL) entitlement in one of the following K-12 licensure programs:

Please note that the K-12 education sequence alone does not constitute a major at 91Porn.

Students seeking K-12 teacher licensure declare a major in an academic subject area. The K-12 education program qualifies as “an area of study in addition to the major” and fulfills graduation requirements. Each certification program involves three types of requirements:

• Requirements of an academic major
• General Education requirements (see College of Education advisor for details)
• Professional K-12 education requirements.

Upon completion of these requirements, students are expected to demonstrate:

• A depth of knowledge in their chosen academic discipline;
• Knowledge of the principles of human growth and development and of learning;
• Knowledge of students with varying racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds;
• Knowledge of the wide range of abilities and special needs of students; and
• The ability to apply their knowledge and skills as they develop effective learning experiences for students during the methods, and the clinical components of the professional education sequence.

Admission to the Program 

To declare the “area of study in addition to the major” you must contact the advisor to discuss your interests, needs and program requirements

For general Northeastern admission requirements, the Admissions Office helps new and returning students through the application process. In addition, the Transfer Center assists transfer students and veteran students who are transitioning to our campus.
