- Attainment of a cumulative 2.75 grade point average
- Successful completion of the PRAXIS Core Academic Skills for Educators (or a composite score of 21 or greater on the enhanced ACT or a combined verbal and mathematical score of 1020 or greater on the re-centered SAT)
- Achievement of satisfactory rating on an index of suitability for the teaching profession
- Achievement of “C” or better in ENGL 1010 and ENGL 1020 and in each of the Mathematics (MATH) and Education (EDU) courses in the curriculum
