Admission to the Program


Admission to the Teacher Preparation Program at Rutgers-Camden is competitive. For currently enrolled Rutgers-Camden students, baseline admission requires:

 

1.   an overall GPA of 2.80 or higher (4.0 representing A), as evidenced through a copy of most recent Rutgers-Camden transcript. No grades of D are acceptable for any courses required for certification.  Postbaccalaureate students, see note below;

2.   evidence of the following minimum scores on the Praxis I: Academic Skills Assessments (PPST®): Reading, 177; Writing, 177; Mathematics, 175; and 

3.   completion of the course, Fundamentals of the Teaching Profession (50:964:101) with a grade of B or higher (for those students seeking program admission on or after June 15, 2006).

  Transfer students must also provide:

4.   a copy of transfer credit evaluation (obtainable from the Office for  Student Affairs, 2nd Floor Armitage Hall). Transfer students who have not yet earned a baccalaureate degree (i.e., undergraduate transfers) must meet the 2.8 GPA requirement on the basis of at least two (2) courses taken at Rutgers-Camden.

 
Postbaccalaureate students must also provide:

5.   a copy of letter of admission and transcript evaluation or verification of reenrollment into Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

 

Students who obtained a baccalaureate degree from Rutgers need to apply for reenrollment through the Office for Student Affairs, not the admissions office. Students who obtained a baccalaureate degree from another institution must apply through the admissions office and obtain a transcript evaluation of previous courses.

 

Note: The Teacher Preparation Program will recognize an overall GPA of 2.8 from a student who possesses a baccalaureate or master's degree from a four-year institution. Postbaccalaureate students from outside institutions (i.e., non-Rutgers graduates) who have a grade-point average of less than 2.8 in their academic major are not eligible for the Teacher Preparation Program with reference to that major (since the major grade-point average cannot be adjusted). Degreed students in this situation may choose another subject matter concentration in order to pursue certification. This option does not necessarily require an additional degree or major, per se. Returning Rutgers students will note that the grade-point average is adjusted as additional courses are taken.
