Transfer Credits from Prior Graduate-Level Work

Students can transfer six credits from an accredited institution that are education-related that will be applied toward the professional studies elective. Transfer credits must have been earned within seven years.

Focused on Student Outcomes

As governments at the state and national level focus on student outcomes and standardized testing, teacher salaries and evaluations will also depend more on student outcomes.
