how long does this program take?
Six months of Preservice courses, then a two year internship where you teach during the day and take classes in the evening.
WHEN DOES THE PROGRAM BEGIN?
We have Preservice cohorts beginning each January with orientation in December. If you are intern ready with a job offer, the intern courses begin each September.
HOW MUCH DOES THE PROGRAM COST?
The Preservice portion is $1500 and the two year internship is $16,000 ($8,000 per year). However we do have grants that may help with test vouchers during Preservice and tuition assistance during internship.
Does PCOE offer any grants that may help lower my tuition costs?
Apply for the Local Soluions grant and receive tuition support to earn a Mild/Moderate or Moderate/Severe teaching credential! For more information, email Kimberly Lilienthal.
WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE A TEACHING CREDENTIAL?
We would do a transcript review and in most cases, you would only need to take one Preservice class to become intern eligible.
