Post-Bachelor’s Teacher Ed Certification

These programs lead to a Master of Science in Secondary Education.  Refer to the Graduate Catalog for Admission requirements, Testing requirements, procedures, and courses.  Successful completion of teacher certification is required in order for the Master of Science in Secondary Education to be awarded.

This program is designed for people who want to become teachers and already have baccalaureate degrees in K-12 or 7-12 content majors in which the South Dakota Board of Education certifies teachers. The degree prepares prospective teachers with the necessary pedagogical knowledge and skills to succeed and is recognized by the South Dakota Department of Education and Wyoming Department of Education. Individuals seeking certification by other state licensing agencies are advised to contact those agencies in advance of enrolling in the programs, as each state agency has the authority to recognize or not recognize certification programs from other states.
