Teacher Preparation Programs (University-wide)
It is possible to begin most teacher preparation programs at many PSU campuses, but the final years of study must be completed at designated locations.
The "Sample" Academic Plans are a only one of many possible semester-by-semester sequences of courses for each major in the College of Education.
The plans are intended to be used simply as a guide and an advising tool in conjunction with students' curriculum checksheets and online degree audits.
Students must regularly consult with academic advisers as they plan their course schedules.
