Modified Alternate Route P-3 (Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification)<\/h2>\n

Students with a baccalaureate degree and interest in teaching may pursue the post-baccalaureate program for certification only.<\/p>\n

The Alternate Route Program for P-3 certification is a 30-credit graduate program that prepares you to apply for standard certification with the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE)*. Designed to be completed in two years, the program aligns with enrollment in the employer-based Provisional Teacher Program (PTP). While a Certificate of Eligibility (CE) is not required for admission, individuals must hold a CE or Limited CE to qualify for full-time employment as a teacher of record in a New Jersey public school. Upon successfully completing the program and meeting all certification requirements, program completers can apply for standard certification through the NJDOE.<\/p>\n
