The program offers two options for students: Virginia licensure and non-licensure tracks. Approved by the Virginia Department of Education, the licensure track requires students to complete one semester of student teaching that includes full-time classroom teaching in both elementary and secondary health and physical education settings.
Upon graduation, licensure students receive a Virginia teaching license. Most state education departments grant licensure reciprocity to our graduates.
