French, Instructional Certification: Teacher Certification in French (Preschool-Grade 12) – Graduate
Students with a baccalaureate degree who are interested in teaching may pursue the post-baccalaureate program for initial teacher certification.
Additional undergraduate coursework in the certification content area may be required to meet state and University certification standards.
Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be recommended to the State of New Jersey for initial teacher certification (Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing, or CEAS). The CEAS authorizes the holder to teach in New Jersey public schools and expedites the ability to become certified in most other states. The CEAS never expires.
In New Jersey, candidates who have completed an initial teaching certification program must successfully complete one year of teaching in order to be eligible to receive a permanent Standard Certificate.
