Villanova University’s secondary teacher education program is approved by the
Pennsylvania Department of Education as satisfying the requirements for teacher
certification in 14 subject areas. Students with majors in departments other
than Education and Human Services may be admitted to the teacher education
program upon the approval of the Undergraduate Committee. Students admitted to
the teacher education program must complete the same requirements as Education
majors, including student teaching. Student Teaching is normally taken in the
second semester of the senior year. Undeclared Arts students who may be
interested in Secondary Teacher Certification should stop by the Office of
Education and Human Services, 302 St. Augustine Center for the Liberal Arts, as
soon as possible. Students enrolled in the Teacher Education Program will have
their work reviewed each semester by a department committee to determine
progress and professional development for certification. Students must achieve a
3.0 overall GPA before they are permitted to do student teaching. Students who
do not achieve the required cumulative average by spring semester senior year
will not be allowed to continue in the education major.
Upon successful completion of the major and the National Teachers Examination (NTE/Praxis)
in communication skills, general knowledge, professional knowledge, and subject
specialization, the student will be eligible for certification.
