Post Baccalaureate Certification

If you already have a bachelor’s degree and you are seeking certification to teach, follow these steps:

  1. Send an email with a scanned copy of your transcript to Dr. Deana Mack at dmmack@geneva.edu, Chair of the Education Department
  2. Include what grade levels you would like to teach (elementary, middle, secondary, music K-12) and what subject you would like to teach if you are inquiring about the middle or secondary level.
  3. Include a brief description of any experience you may have had working with children or high school students that may be applicable to an education career.

What will happen next?

Dr. Mack will evaluate your transcript and let you know:

  • How many credits you will need to take and what the cost will be.
  • Which credits could be taken at a community college or online to save money.
  • How long the process would take (may vary from 1-3 years depending on your coursework).

What you need to know:

  • You must student teach for an entire semester.
  • If your final undergraduate grade point average is below 3.0, it is a state requirement that you will need to achieve at least a 3.0 over the first 12 credits you take toward your certification in order to continue working toward certification.
  • It is also a state requirement that you pass a standardized test in the content area you want to teach before you can be certified.
  • You may earn teaching certification at Geneva College in any of the areas that are listed under the undergraduate majors in education.
  • The courses you would take are undergraduate courses.
