Post-Bachelor's Teaching Certificate

About the program
This certificate program is designed for individuals who hold a Bachelor's degree and who seek to qualify for state teacher certification at the elementary or secondary level. This program is designed for career-changers as well as those who already serve as temporary, emergency, or substitute teachers and wish to earn a formal teaching credential.

Drexel University’s Pennsylvania Department of Education-approved programs certify students who already hold Bachelor's degrees to be teachers in:

• Elementary Education
• Secondary Education
  • Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth and Space Science, General Science, Environmental Education, and/or Mathematics

Students completing the certification program have the option to continue coursework to earn the M.S. in the Science of Instruction degree. All graduate credits earned in this certificate program may be applied toward the Master’s degree.

This program will prepares students for a Pennsylvania Instructional I Certificate. Students also have the option of earning the Graduate Intern Teaching Certificate during the course of the program.  The Graduate Intern Teaching Certificate feature is only available to Pennsylvania residents.

For students intending to teach outside of Pennsylvania, through operation of interstate reciprocity agreements, a Pennsylvania teaching certificate may be converted to the analogous teaching certificate in another state. We recommend prospective students contact their state’s Department of Education to find out these transfer procedures before proceeding.
