The College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) offers undergraduate and advanced study in a wide range of teaching and human development programs that rank among the very best in the nation. Some programs offer preparation for careers in business, government, and community settings, while others prepare students for preK-12 teaching licensure by the state of Minnesota.
Our teaching licensure programs offer a unique approach to preparing students to teach in preK-12 classrooms. Before entering our master's-level licensure programs, applicants must complete an undergraduate degree in an area that they want to teach (for example, mathematics in IT or CLA, or social studies in CLA). While students learn content at the undergraduate level, they learn how to teach at the master's level. Research and experience show that students who complete our programs are better prepared for the challenges of real-world classrooms and are more likely to success in their careers. After completing a licensure program in about 15 months, students are licensed to teach in Minnesota public schools and are only a few courses away from master's degree.
Undergraduates can also get on a fast track to teaching licensure through the College's DirecTrack to Teaching Program, which offers early admission to licensure programs and valuable exposure to the culture of teaching and schools.
