Certification Programs

Cooperative Education

School personnel interested in being certified in "Off-Campus Occupational- Related Experiences" in Pennsylvania must be certified in Cooperative Education. This certification covers a variety of field experiences for secondary students, including community exploration, cooperative education, work experience, and special needs.

Persons wishing to become teachers of cooperative education must make application to the program and provide information about their education and experiential backgrounds. Based on the information provided, a program of studies, which includes an internship, is prepared. Persons who enter this program holding a valid teaching certificate will work toward earning "add-on" certificates in Cooperative Education, while others will work toward "stand-alone" certificates.
Persons wishing to enroll in this program should contact an adviser.

Career and Technical Certification Program

This curriculum, offered in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, is designed to prepare persons to teach vocational industrial subjects on the secondary, post-secondary, and junior college levels in public and private schools. Career and Technical Teacher Education courses may be taken on three levels: Certification, Undergraduate, and Graduate. Persons who have at least two years of work experience beyond the learning period in a trade, technical, or other selected occupation may prepare for certification to teach occupational laboratory or related classes in secondary schools in Pennsylvania.

Certification students must apply and be admitted to the Industrial Education Certification Program. All certification students must meet the requirements for admission to the University. In addition to meeting the requirements for admission to the University, candidates must satisfy the departmental requirements for work experience and must have passed the required Occupational Competency Test. Students must also pass Praxis I, computer-based tests before receiving the Vocational Intern Teaching Certificate. This program prepares the student for industrial teacher certification in Pennsylvania and, in general, is acceptable in other states. Work taken toward the certification objective may be applied to the undergraduate degree program. The courses are offered on a part-time basis only for persons who are preparing to teach or for those who are already teaching and must meet professional requirements. Completing 18 semester hours of approved coursework and passing the occupational competency examination will permit the issuance of a Vocational Instructional I Certificate on a temporary basis.

Upon receipt of the Vocational Instructional I Certificate, the student must complete 42 s.h. more of prescribed college work, earning a minimum of 6 semester hours of credit per year until the requirements for permanent certification (60 s.h. and three years successful teaching) are satisfied.

Persons wishing to enroll in this program should contact an adviser.
