Admission for the Teacher Licensure Program

Admission to the University of Saint Mary does not confer or guarantee admission to the Teacher Education Program (TEP), which has its own acceptance criteria. Traditional students apply during their sophomore or junior year. Transfer juniors and seniors must apply for admission to the Teacher Education Program after their first semester at the University of Saint Mary. For more information, refer to Declaration of Major and Teacher Education Program within this catalog.

Students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and wish to become eligible for teacher licensure should consult the education program’s unit head or the Graduate Education Program Director for specific requirements and procedures applicable to the Teacher Education Program (TEP). Applicants must complete an admissions application and pay a non-refundable application fee of $25 and submit official transcripts from all colleges previously attended (these must be sent directly from the colleges). The final transcript must indicate conferral of the bachelor’s degree.
