All students enrolled in the Teacher Licensure Program at Regis College must have co-academic advisors, one in the major field and one in the Education Department.

In addition to a professional licensure in elementary education, students also have the option of completing any of the three minors or concentrations of study with the education department. These minors can be earned in addition to?teaching licensure or independent from a teaching license and include Literacy, Special Education and Linguistically Diverse Education. Students interested in the Linguistically Diverse Minor also have the opportunity to earn graduate credit and complete coursework for the full ESL Endorsement.

Students completing a teacher licensure program at Regis will also have completed requirements for a minor in Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Music or Art Education. However, it is also possible to complete a minor in Education without seeking teacher licensure.

The programs leading to recommendation for licensure, either at the elementary level or in a particular subject area at the secondary level, contain their own specific requirements. These requirements are listed on the advising sheet pertinent to that subject area. The advising sheets are available from an advisor in the Education Department. It is the student?s responsibility to meet the requirements listed on that advising sheet.
