Candidates for teaching certification in Pennsylvania must meet state requirements described in Chapter 354 regulations. A description of requirements, policies, and procedures for teacher certification can be found in the catalog section entitled, “Teacher Education Certification.”

The special education program prepares students to work with exceptional individuals through prescriptive teaching and practicum courses. Students who complete the special education program receive a Bachelor of Science in Education degree and a Pennsylvania Instructional 1 teaching certificate.
