Enrollment in upper level education courses requires formal admission to a teacher education program. Minimum grades in professional courses are required in all programs.

All teacher education programs require students to successfully complete EDU3216 Instructional Foundations or EDU3246 Instructional Foundations PreK-8 and all methods courses before being admitted to student teaching. Requirements in teacher licensure programs may change due to revisions in Minnesota teacher licensure rules.
