The Teacher Education program prepares candidates for certification in grades K-12. The Secondary Education program requires 27 credits of Education coursework in professional foundations and studies and 13 credits during internship. Students apply for admission to the program after successfully completing nine credits of Education coursework in professional foundations. During the course of these studies, candidates may be asked to reapply to the program if their GPA falls below 3.0.

Teaching endorsement areas are attached to a Standard Instructional Certificate (grades K-12), according to Idaho Teacher Certification standards. All endorsements require a minimum of 45 semester credits, with the exception of dual endorsements where 30 semester credits for a major endorsement and 20 semester credits for a minor endorsement is required.
