• Program of Study admission requirements are specific to the program (add-on teacher licensure, certificate, masters, specialist, or doctoral degrees). The requirements are provided on the Individual Graduate Program Information pages.

Transition to Teaching:

Individuals who possess a non-teaching baccalaureate degree and have an interest in pursuing teacher licensure through Appalachian's Distance Education Programs must contact either the Reich College of Education Office of Field Experiences or the Appalachian Transition to Teaching Program Office to receive an evaluation and guidance. Prospective applicants should pursue the contact before beginning the application process. They should also be aware that applying for teacher licensure is a separate process and should be pursued through the Reich College of Education.

Questions about the application / admission process may be addressed to the Distance Education Program Manager assigned to the specific program.
