Teacher Certification Conversion Programs

These programs are designed for college graduates seeking teaching certification. The student completes only the courses needed to fulfill the New Hampshire State Standards for teacher certification. The number of credits required for certification varies according to the applicant’s background. The program does not lead to a degree.

Students who already hold a bachelor’s degree (B.A./B.S.) in one of the secondary teaching fields (business, English, marketing, history or political science) may earn teacher certification through a teaching conversion program. Though students do not have to complete the B.A./B.S. core, they must meet all the other requirements of the particular teacher certification program, including supervised student teaching. Interested students should contact the program coordinator/department chair.
