Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs for ENHP

Note: All teacher education programs are designed to lead to State of Connecticut certification. Changes in State of Connecticut certification regulations require adjustments in the degree requirements as they are mandated.

Teacher education programs comprise three groups of course requirements: lower- and upper-level general education courses, pre-professional program and post-professional program education courses, and a subject-area major. The post-professional education and subject-area major options vary according to the student’s chosen major. The curricula are outlined under each of the specialized programs that follow.

Field work is required and incorporated into most professional education courses.
