Program Requirements
Graduate Intern Teaching Certificate applicants for elementary certification may come from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds. Applicants for secondary certification must have a bachelor’s degree in an area related to that in which they intend to become certified. Minimum coursework requirements include 23 credits of pedagogy, which may be incorporated into the graduate Science of Instruction program or into the electives portion of another approved Drexel master’s degree program in the subject area of certification.

Intern teachers may obtain a full-time teaching position after they have been recommended for the Pennsylvania Department of Education Intern Teaching Certificate. To be recommended, students must be admitted into the Drexel graduate program, obtain at least a B in EDUC 520 (Professional Studies in Instruction) or EDUC 523 (Diagnostic Teaching), obtain at least a B in EDUC 540 (Field Experience), and obtain the necessary scores on the appropriate sections of the Praxis Series assessment through Educational Testing Service (ETS).
