Certification
Students
at Florida Tech who graduate from any of our seven State
Approved Programs will be "certifiable" on graduation. That
means that they will have completed ALL of the requirements
for becoming certified in the State of Florida–all they
need to do after graduation is apply with the state for their
5-year Professional Educator's Certificate. Florida
Tech's State Approved Program is also very portable; allowing
our graduates to teach in other states, with no further requirements.
The requirements
for graduating from a State Approved Program are:
- A minimum
overall GPA of 2.5
- A minimum
2.5 GPA in all Education courses
- A minimum
3.0 GPA for the 18 semester hours of student teaching
- Demonstrate
competence in all 12 Preprofessional Accomplished Practices
