Certification for Post-Degree Students

Marygrove strives to serve the career development of working adults and career changers. Post-Degree undergraduate teacher certification can be pursued by students who have already completed the Bachelor of Arts Degree. Post-degree students can pursue Provisional teacher certification by applying to the Post-Degree Undergraduate Teacher Certification Program through the Admissions Office. An advisor in the Education Department and liaisons in the teaching major department will put together a “Plan of Work” for meeting the requirements of the undergraduate teacher certification program described above.
