• Students take at least 2 and no more than 8 credits per semester, including credits counted toward the maximum set by their department.
• Before taking subject-specific teaching methods, students must have completed or be taking at least 12 professional education credits, including at least 2 credits in education foundations and 4 credits in teaching methods.
• Students admitted in Academic Year 2015–16 or earlier were required to choose among the education issues seminar, career development education, and vocational education and training. Those admitted in Academic Year 2016–17 or later were required to take the education issues seminar.
• Students admitted in Academic Year 2014–15 or later must complete at least 54 hours of field-based service learning, according to their teaching category.
