You will also gain experience in the classroom with one semester of student teaching under the supervision of a practicing teacher.

Teacher certification, a requirement for teaching in a public school, varies from state to state. Upon completion of your coursework, you will be eligible to take the teacher certification exam for the state in which you want to work.
