Why Add Teaching Certification
Adding a teaching certification to your current LSA degree provides the opportunity to pursue a wider range of careers after graduation. Students graduate with a recommendation from the Marsal school to the state of Michigan for teaching licensure.
Stay for your 1-year Master’s Degree w/ Teacher Certification
This June-to-June program allows students to graduate with both a Master’s Degree and a certification in their desired content area. Over the course of 4 semesters, students participate in educational coursework, as well as work with Marsal coordinators to obtain and participate in student teaching placements in school districts throughout southeast Michigan. Applications are due by March 28 before the intended June start.
