Informational meetings set for WSU Transition to Teaching program

The Transition to Teaching program at Wichita State is a two-year alternative licensure program that combines graduate coursework and full-time, paid teaching in an accredited school as the classroom teacher of record.

The program is geared toward working professionals looking for a career change and more recent graduates wanting to teach. Teaching candidates fulfill teacher licensure requirements in the first 29 hours (two years). Those who want to earn a Master of Arts in Teaching degree must complete an additional seven hours of research in the third year.

Informational meetings regarding the program will be held from 2-3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, and Saturday, Feb. 4, in Corbin Education Center, Room 156C on the WSU main campus.
