The state of Ohio will require a criminal background check as a part of the licensure application.

The program is designed for full-time study and internship, requiring a Monday through Friday commitment. Students from Wright State University’s Bachelor of Education program in Mathematics Education, Integrated Language Arts, Science Education, Integrated Social Sciences Education and others with a bachelor’s degree who meet content area requirements and other prerequisite of Wright State’s educator program will be enrolled in this program in a cohort group to begin the program in the Summer semester. Prerequisite content requirements are described on the college’s Web site at http://education-human-services.wright.edu (http://education-human-services.wright.edu). Students will serve as interns in school settings throughout the school year. Therefore, this program operates on a different calendar than the university and candidates may be required to start prior to the beginning of the university’s academic term.

Admissions Requirements:

In addition to meeting requirements for admission established by the Graduate School, applicants must meet content requirements, and appropriate state mandated content examination(s).
