Five-year Extended Teacher Preparation Program

Our innovative five-year extended teacher preparation program allows students to receive both their bachelor’s degree as well as the Master of Teaching degree simultaneously. In order to qualify for this program, your bachelor’s degree major must match your M.T. concentration (for example, those pursuing the biology concentration for the M.T. degree must major in biology for their undergraduate work).

Those entering the early and elementary education concentration must enroll in VCU’s Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with a liberal studies for early and elementary education major.

Scholarships/funding

Financial assistance is available for highly qualified students accepted into our programs.

Funding for our M.T. degree for STEM fields is also available through our NOYCE program, a partnership between VCU, local community colleges and area school districts.
