IUPUC is announcing a new program to fast-track those who already have a bachelor’s degree in obtaining their teaching certificate.

According to the school, the IUPUC Division of Education in partnership with IUPUI will be offering the fast-track teaching certificate starting this fall. You can complete the program with just 24 credits. And those who complete the program with a B or higher can apply 18 credits towards a masters degree in elementary education.

The District-Based Alternative Certification Program is made up of both in person and online classes.

Crystal Walcott, Head of the IUPUC Division of Education, said that once a license is granted, many secondary content area licenses can be added with only an assessment required. That means elementary education program graduates can teach K-12 with only one degree.

She said there are several graduates now teaching high school subjects such as language arts and math with the elementary education degree and content area licenses.
