Special Education Post-Baccalaureate

Take the next step in your education and career

If you’ve already completed your bachelor’s degree and wish to earn your certification for teaching, we offer post-baccalaureate certificates in elementary education, secondary education, K-12 art education and special education.

You can earn your teaching license face-to-face or via distance education and online classes, on a schedule that works for you. When you complete the post-baccalaureate program, you’ll be eligible to apply for a teaching certificate or add an endorsement to an existing teaching certificate. You may also add your post-baccalaureate credits toward a Master of Education degree.

Students with an initial teaching certificate can complete the program fully online; however, students cannot complete initial teaching certificate requirements fully online.

“As a full-time working mom, it was important for me to be able to participate in the program via the online opportunities that UAF provides. This program provided me the flexibility, expertise, convenience and knowledge needed to become a special educator.”

What does post-baccalaureate mean?

A post-baccalaureate certificate is a non-degree program you can pursue after earning your bachelor’s degree to take your undergraduate studies to the next level. Many students take post-baccalaureate programs to prepare for graduate school or enhance their professional knowledge and marketability. Our post-baccalaureate program classes are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level and feature extensive field-based learning experiences.
