The College requires specified coursework to
complete a major and a sequence of courses and field experiences in
Education. Candidates for student teaching must meet overall GPA standards,
as well as specified GPAs in major areas and Education courses. Students who
successfully complete student teaching and pass the necessary Praxis exams and
coursework become eligible for Pennsylvania Department of Education
Instructional I certification, which is reciprocal with 46 other states.
All students in the teacher certification program at Ursinus College are expected to
have access to a computer for their class work and to routinely check their Ursinus
email to enable regular communication among students and faculty.
Education Department Courses and the Professional Semester
Education prerequisites for student teaching include EDUC 202, 320, 344, 441, 443, and PSYC 265. Early field work acquaints candidates with cooperating school districts, educational philosophies, and current practices. The professional semester for student teaching, which occurs in either the fall or spring, requires a full day-time commitment during which only the following courses may be taken: EDUC 493 and 406. Students must curtail employment responsibilities during this semester.
