Program Requirements for Admission

Admission is on a rolling basis.  Candidates must meet the following admission requirements:

  • An overall GPA of at least 3.0 out of a 4.0 scale in previous college work
  • A valid Pennsylvania Teaching Certificate
  • Three (3) years of successful teaching experience before the endorsement can be awarded.

Applying for Endorsement

Upon completion of all program requirements, the candidate is eligible to petition the PA Department of Education for an endorsement certificate. This would be classified as an add-on to an existing PA Level I or Level II certificate.

Currently, the Pennsylvania Department of Education is utilizing an online system to manage all certificates and endorsements: the Teacher Information Management System (TIMS). The candidate needs to log into the TIMS section of the PDE website to process an application for an add-on.  The endorsement application must be approved by the Penn State Harrisburg Certification Officer and may not be submitted until all courses and required field experiences have been completed.
