Initial II Teaching License Program
Practicing teachers may elect to qualify for an Initial II Teaching License instead of a Continuing Teaching License. For teachers who earned their Initial Teaching License in an undergraduate program, requirements include a master's degree in the arts and sciences or an advanced degree in the professions. In lieu of a master's degree, candidates must complete a minimum of 30 hours of graduate coursework germane to public school employment:
- 10 semester hours in subject matter coursework
- 10 semester hours in education-related coursework
- 10 semester hours in graduate-level electives
For teachers who earned their Initial Teaching License in a post-baccalaureate program, requirements include 6 semester hours of graduate-level coursework germane to the teaching license or to public school employment. Pacific has a variety of offerings meeting the requirements for the Initial II Teaching License.
