I want to apply but do not have a degree in, or a minimum of 24 semester credit hours in the licensure area I wish to pursue. What can I do?
It is not uncommon for someone to be in this situation as the program casts a wide net for applicants who may come with diverse academic and professional backgrounds and yet desire to teach in a very specific discipline area. This is especially true for those wishing to teach mathematics, science, and exceptional children (special education). Host university coordinators may be contacted and an analysis of transcripts will help determine what content courses will be needed for a given licensure area. We recommend that individuals who do not meet the minimum content course requirements begin taking the content courses they need prior to formally applying for the NC TEACH program. Individuals are encouraged to find and take these courses (face-to-face or online) and then apply to NC TEACH. Be sure to work closely with the host university coordinator on determining what courses need to be completed and get it in writing!
