The Bachelor of Science in Teacher Education prepares students to meet the requirements for pursuing a North Carolina teaching license in a chosen area of study: English (secondary), History (secondary), Social Studies (secondary or middle school), and Bible (required secondary licensure in one of the three previous areas listed).
Students are admitted to the program during their sophomore year after consultation with the Teacher Education Program Director and successful completion of the Introduction to Teaching course. To quality for admission, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and receive a minimum passing score on the Praxis Core Academic Skills exam in the areas of Reading, Writing, and Mathematics (students with an SAT exam score of 1100 or above in the Verbal and Quantitative section, or with a composite ACT score of 24 or higher are exempt from taking the Praxis Core exam). Students must interview with the Program Director, submit a writing sample from the Introduction to Teaching course, and provide recommendation letters during the fall semester of the sophomore year. Those who are accepted into the program will complete the required Teacher Education major coursework throughout the sophomore, junior, and senior years. Students will also complete a second major in their chosen area of study (English, History, or Social Studies). Prior to student teaching in their senior year, students must pass the Praxis II exam in the concentration area and complete the edTPA assessment.
