ACT II - Castleton State College’s Post-baccalaureate Program with Licensure In Elementary or Secondary Education

This program is offered to students who have completed appropriate liberal arts and science, or other professional bachelor’s degrees, from an accredited college or university and are seeking initial teaching licensure.

The Castleton Post-Baccalaureate Program is intensive and based on contemporary Vermont standards. Students will work together as a cohort and will be recommended for licensureafter successfully earning 36 credits during the three semesters (summer, fall and spring) of the program. It will also be possible for students earning licensure to enter the Master of Arts in Education program at Castleton.

Within the first semester, students will need to pass Praxis I and Praxis II in the appropriate subject area, since this is a requirement of the Vermont Department of Education. Students may need only to take Praxis II if they have qualifying SAT or GRE scores. Licensure will be granted in the following areas:

Art (preK-12)
Elementary Education (K-6)
Music (K-12)
Spanish (preK-12)*
Theatre Arts (preK-12)**
Secondary Education (7-12), English
