Teacher Certification Program for Post Baccalaureate Students with an option to earn a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction


The Teacher Certification Program for Post-Baccalaureate Students with an Option to Earn a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction was established to provide an alternative certification route through Wyoming's Professional Teaching Standards Board for individuals who have already completed a bachelor’s degree. This on campus program is not a degree program; rather, it is an alternative avenue toward initial Wyoming teacher certification, with the bonus that it provides up to 12 hours of graduate credit that can be applied to a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction. The master’s degree requires a separate application and admittance. The actual certification courses encompass three full-time semesters: one summer and the following fall and spring semesters, including student teaching. However, there are prerequisite professional education courses, as well as possible content courses that must be completed prior to beginning the summer-fall-spring sequence. A transcript evaluation completed by the Office of Teacher Education (see Step 1, How and When do I Apply) will determine how much additional course work is required.
