All teacher education programs require a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA for admission, retention, student teaching, graduation, and licensing. Students must complete all professional, area of concentration, academic minor courses for elementary education majors, or license addition courses with a minimum 2.5 GPA and a grade of C or higher in each course. Any student who receives a grade of C– or lower in an authorized professional education course must retake the course prior to proceeding in the program. Content area minimum grades and GPAs vary by program. Secondary and All-grades content area courses must have a C- or higher grade with an overall content area minimum GPA of 2.5 (except Mathematics Education, which requires a minimum 2.0 GPA in the content area); Early Childhood, Elementary Education and Elementary/Exceptional Needs programs require a minimum 2.0 GPA in each content area (Language Arts, Fine Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies) and a passing grade in each content area course.
