Teacher certification can be achieved through the successful
completion of one of seven state-approved programs. Information
regarding programs and requirements may be obtained from the Office of
Teacher Education Programs, Room 132, Graduate School of Education
(732/932-7496, ext. 8132). Upon admission, students must open a file in
that office to ensure completion of all certification requirements.
The GSE offers seven initial teacher certification programs
(elementary, English, English as a second language, foreign language,
mathematics, science (physical or biological), and social studies
education) for students who have a baccalaureate degree and are seeking
a master's degree and teacher certification. Program graduates are
eligible for the certificate of eligibility with advanced standing. For
standard certification, graduates must participate in the state
induction year program and successfully teach for one year.
For information on the four-year undergraduate sequence of the
five-year teacher certification programs, refer to the New Brunswick
Undergraduate Catalog.
