Teacher licensure at Case Western Reserve University is offered through the College of Arts and Sciences, which is the academic home to two departments that prepare students to become art teachers andmusic teachers .
Teacher licensure programs are offered in art education
and music education at the undergraduate (Bachelor
of Science) and graduate (Master of Arts) levels.
For specific information
about any of these programs, follow the links for
Art Education and Music Education.
A unique feature of these programs is that each is offered in cooperation with a University Circle Institution - the Cleveland Institute of Art, and the Cleveland Institute of Music.
In addition, several departments within the College
of Arts and Sciences (English, History, French, Mathematics,
Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Spanish, Latin) participate
in the Case Western Reserve
University/John Carroll University Collaborative
Program to
prepare students for state licensure in those areas.
Degrees in these programs are awarded by Case Western
Reserve University and licensure is recommended through John
Carroll University.
Completion of a Case Western Reserve University
program in education does not ensure that an Ohio
teaching license will be awarded. The Ohio Department
of Education also requires that licensure candidates
achieve passing scores on the PLT (Principles of
Learning and Teaching) and Content Area subsets of
the Praxis II Examination, a test used nationally
as part of the teacher licensure process. In addition,
applicants must pass criminal background checks
by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and the FBI.
Teacher licensure programs at Case Western Reserve
University are approved by the Ohio Department of
Education, and lead to teaching licenses, which are
recognized by over 40 states. In addition, the National
Association of Schools of Music (NASM) accredits
the music education program.
