Admissions for Undergraduates

Students may apply for entry to the Education Program at any point in their work, but an application is usually completed upon earning 60 credit hours. Entry is open to all qualified students. Application to the program is made after evaluation by the School for Education.

Teacher Certification

The Park University Education Program is approved by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Upon completion of the program, passing the appropriate PRAXIS test, recommendation by Park University and application by the student, a Missouri Teaching Certificate is issued by the state of Missouri. If students wish to be certified in any state other than Missouri, students are responsible for their course of study to reflect that state's requirements. Teaching Certification requires passing an FBI background check, which includes fingerprinting.
