Secondary Education Endorsement (GTEP)

For students who complete a major in English and wish to teach Language Arts in middle or high schools, PSU’s Graduate School of Education offers a M.Ed. with certification in Language Arts through their Graduate Teacher Education Program (GTEP). Applicants to the GTEP program in Language Arts must complete specific prerequisites in the content area with grades of B- or better. PSU English majors may do this as part of their major requirements: early consultation with the department’s Language Arts content area advisor can streamline this process and is strongly recommended for students interested in careers in secondary education.
