The

to become teachers in Secondary Schools.
At the
graduate level, in cooperation with the Graduate School, the department
offers the Master of Arts degree in Education with emphases in the
following: elementary /middle grade education, gifted/talented
education, reading/writing, library science, and secondary
teaching fields. Fifth and sixth year nondegree continuing
certification programs (Rank II and Rank I) are offered in
elementary/middle grade education, library science, and secondary
teaching fields. Complete details regarding these programs are included
in the undergraduate and graduate university catalogues.
Alternative certification programs are available for students who hold
degrees and wish to pursue teacher certification. Both graduate (M.A.T.)
and undergraduate routes are available for students seeking elementary,
middle-grade or secondary certification. Regardless of the route
selected, students must meet Kentucky standards for teacher

have been carefully assessed.
