Alternate Certification
Thank you for your interest in Southeastern's Alternate Certification-Only Programs. If you have earned a Bachelor's degree in an area other than education and would like to become a certified teacher, this program is for you! We offer Master's Degree with certification and Non-Master's/Certification-Only Options.
Both the 6-12 and K-12 options are 100% online and require successful completion of 30 graduate level hours of Education courses. Included in the 30 hours are 2 semesters of student teaching or an internship of 2 semesters. Internships are available for students who are employed as full-time teachers of record in the content area in which they are seeking certification. To learn more, please visit the 6-12 or K-12 pages below.
