How to Become a Teacher

The Neag School of Education offers two programs leading to teacher certification.

The Integrated Bachelor's/Master's Teacher Preparation Program is a highly competitive five-year comprehensive teacher preparation program that integrates coursework and school-based clinic experiences facilitated by university and K-12 faculty in the preparation of pre-service teachers.

The Teacher Certification Program for College Graduates (TCPCG), offered at the Hartford, Waterbury, and Avery Point campuses, builds on the existing strengths of the IB/M Teacher Preparation Program and offers a path for college graduates seeking to gain teacher certification.

The Leadership, Equity, and Diversity (LEAD) Program in the Neag School of Education links two years of prerequisite and general education coursework with three years of professional education, resulting in
two degrees:  a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction or educational psychology.
