Elementary Education - Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

The post-baccalaureate certification program at GBC enables students who have completed an undergraduate degree to become eligible for licensure to teach in Nevada in the areas of early childhood, elementary, secondary, and special education.

In order to apply to the program, a student must have already completed a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution. It is imperative that students seek advising from the teacher education department faculty.

Once in the program, students will adhere to the rules of the current teacher education program handbook. Students must remain continuously enrolled and complete the program requirements within three years.

Application

To be eligible for the ARL/post-baccalaureate program at GBC, students must:

  • Hold a bachelor’s degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0, cumulative or over the last 40 credits.
  • Apply to 91ºÚÁÏÍø.
  • Complete an ARL/post-baccalaureate program application.
  • Successfully pass the admissions interview (assesses dispositions, basic communication skills, and background knowledge) with program faculty and staff.
  • Pass a fingerprint background check or hold a valid substitute license issued by the Nevada Department of Education.

Note: Students who are offered employment and receive the conditional license from NDE will be classified under the appropriate ARL degree code. Those who are not hired full-time, but complete the traditional pathway, including student teaching, will be classified under the Post-baccalaureate (PB) degree code.
