Certification as an 8-12 grade teacher is provided through Professional Development Sequences (QUEST) in the College of Education in conjunction with degree programs in the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Technology. Courses are jointly approved by these colleges and the College of Education. For certification within a degree program in any of these three colleges, see the specific college section of this catalog. Advisors for students seeking teaching certificates in addition to their degrees are located in these colleges. Students must carefully follow the degree plan prepared by their college.

Students pursuing 8-12 grade certification should apply for an Education minor in order to be advised regarding teacher certification. See the advisors in room 256 of Farish Hall.

To confer a bachelor's degree and teacher certification in any college the university requires a minimum of 120 semester hours of course work.
