Program DescriptionThe Professional Teacher Education Program at Utah Valley University is designed to prepare quality, entry level candidates for teaching in secondary education programs grades 7-12. All students who matriculate in the professional licensure program must have a major in an approved content area. The UVU teacher education program is accredited by the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC), the Utah State Office of Education, and Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Students seeking licensure in approved content areas complete a major in that area and required coursework in Secondary Education to qualify for a Level I Utah State Professional Educator License for grades 7-12. Baccalaureate degrees (BS and BA) are granted through the content area department and not through the School of Education. To continue in the teacher education program, students are expected to maintain all program standards. They must maintain expected levels of competence in all coursework, field work, and student teaching with all course grades at or above a B- and a program GPA of 3.00 or higher.
