Post-Baccalaureate Intensive Certification Program

If you have a strong commitment to teaching but have yet to earn your certification, join a community of learners working at an accelerated pace toward a common goal. The Post-Baccalaureate Intensive Certification Program is an undergraduate teacher preparation program designed to fast-track your entry into the teaching profession. It is designed for teacher candidates who hold existing bachelors degrees and are seeking secondary provisional teacher certification. The program consists of 30 semester hours, a combination of hands-on field work and 5 university courses. Some courses have a significant online component and are offered in a “hybrid” format where students complete work in both a traditional classroom setting and online.

The Capstone Experience – Student Teaching is a cooperative endeavor of the personnel of Siena Heights University, the Lenawee County schools, and the Michigan Department of Education. It represents a significant part of the student’s total preparation for teaching. Consisting of a carefully planned sequence of field experiences, directed observations, related activities, conferences, and full-time teaching, it provides on-the-job experience under professional supervision. The comprehensive exit interview allows each student an opportunity to reflect on the entire experience and engage in the process of self-assessment, and provides an opportunity for the university and the teacher education program faculty to evaluate the progress of each candidate toward the achievement of the desired outcomes.
