4. Enter your subject area.  If your area is not identified/available, pick a subject area closest to your area.
5. Enter your Educator Prep Program from the available search options.
   Note: even if you completed your program as a post-bach or master’s student, you may need select “undergraduate” as the Program Level in order to see your program listed.
