Secondary Education – Accelerated License Completion Program

Teacher License Completion Program

If you hold a bachelor's degree in English, History, Broad Field Social Studies or Science, consider what Edgewood College's graduate Teacher License Completion Program has to offer. Courses are taught in an accelerated format so that you can obtain your license in one year. Plus, all license completion courses are applicable to a master's degree. Our classes are cohort based so you will have the opportunity to work in partnership with other students and faculty throughout the program.

The Educational License Cohort Program at Edgewood College offered everything I was looking for: an accelerated program, a consistent group of peers to learn from, and the opportunity to be able to have time for a job. I even know someone who came all the way from Michigan to be a part of this program!                                                                              - Anne K. Keinath
