Can I major in elementary or secondary education as a freshman at Stockton?
No. The Stockton Teacher Education Program is a post-baccalaureate certification program that prepares candidates to teach a wide range of subjects in grades K-12. The Stockton Teacher Education Program is a state accredited program that follows the guidelines set forth by NJAC 6A:9-10.4—the requirements for post-baccalaureate and graduate-level teacher preparation programs set forth by the New Jersey Department of Education. Students complete certification requirements either in conjunction with or following the completion of a non-education first bachelor’s degree. Most program completers will earn a second Bachelor of Arts degree in Teacher Education by completing 32 or more credits beyond the first bachelor’s degree.
