Return to: 1600 Undergraduate Educator Preparation
Teachers and other educational personnel must be certified by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission to be employed in the state’s elementary, middle, and secondary public schools. Private elementary and secondary schools may also require state certification for employment.
Completion of Teacher Education Requirements: A requirement for initial certification in Georgia is completion of teacher education requirements. This may be accomplished in one of the following ways at Georgia State University. (Options vary by program.) In all cases, “Entry into Teacher Education” criteria apply.
- Students may complete an approved educator preparation degree program as described in the College of the Arts, College of Arts and Sciences, or the College of Education and Human Development chapter of this catalog.
- Students may complete or present a non-educator preparation bachelor’s degree and all additional components of an approved educator preparation degree program.
The College of Education and Human Development offers nine (9) Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) programs which prepare students for initial certification in the following fields: Elementary Education, English Education, English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Education, Health and Physical Education, Mathematics Education, Middle Level Education, Science Education, Social Studies Education, and Special Education. The College of Education and Human Development also offers initial certification programs at the graduate level in Communication Sciences and Disorders, Educational Leadership, Reading Specialist, School Counseling, and School Psychology.
