Teacher LicensureUnion Institute & University’s B.A. program is approved by the Vermont Department of Education to prepare teachers for licensure in early childhood education, elementary education, secondary English, secondary social studies, and K-12 art education. Learners who have already met their math or science major may prepare for secondary math or science licensure. Learners receive a Vermont license to teach upon successful completion of the program's teacher education option. Vermont has reciprocal agreements with many other states to accept each other's licenses; the Vermont Department of Education Website (www.state.vt.us/educ/) lists these reciprocal agreements. It is important to note that teacher education learners need to pass both the PRAXIS I and PRAXIS II Assessments. Consult your enrollment counselor to learn when you need to take these tests. Candidates for teacher licensure must complete a liberal arts concentration along with their education studies. In secondary fields, this must be in the discipline relevant to the license. For early childhood or elementary education, the concentration may be in any non-professional field. Examples of study projects learners in either the education studies or the teacher licensure track:
