SCHOOL
OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN SERVICES
Alternative
Teacher Licensure Certificate
In an effort to meet the high demand for
teachers in the northern Virginia area, Marymount University offers an alternative
initial licensure certificate program for teacher preparation in the following
areas: PK-6 (elementary), 6-12 (secondary in a content area), LD, and ESL.
Marymount
University’s initial licensure certificate program leading to alternative
teacher licensure requires 18-27 hours of professional studies by all participants,
pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, regardless of subject matter. The total number
of hours required will depend on the student’s previous coursework on the
undergraduate or graduate level. These programs fulfill the state’s Professional
Studies requirements in the area of curriculum and instruction, human growth and
development, foundations of education, and reading and language acquisition, and
additional professional requirements set for each licensure area.
Individuals
who wish to teach in Virginia’s K-12 schools, who have completed at least
a bachelor’s degree, and who are not currently licensed by the Commonwealth
of Virginia are eligible to participate. This program does not automatically provide
Virginia teaching licensure. Individuals will not apply for their Virginia professional
teaching license through Marymount University, but must seek licensure through
the school system that issues their provisional license.
Individuals in this
program who wish to obtain a master’s degree at Marymount University should
contact the Graduate Admissions Office at (703) 284-5901.
