· Provisional
Admissions to Teacher Education
CMU
has initiated a Provisional Admissions Program to assist community college
transfer students and to recruit quality students into the teaching profession.
This program is designed for students seeking admission to the wide variety of
teaching fields available at CMU, including elementary, middle, secondary, and
special education.
While the admissions acceptance rate for community college transfer
students has averaged 97 percent, many students like to begin the process early
to be sure of their future in teacher education. For provisional admissions to
be considered complete, students must have completed at least 45 semester hours
of course work with a 2.7 or higher grade point average. For more information,
contact CMU Admissions toll free at (888) 292-5366.
· Art
Teacher Certification Requirements Change
In June 2001 the State Board of Education approved new requirements and
standards for the preparation of Visual Arts teachers. This new endorsement
requires a minimum 51-semester-hour major and does not require an additional
minor. These new standards are aligned with those developed by the National Art
Education Association. Students who seek an endorsement in art will be required
to major in art education and will receive K-12 certification.
