Program Length

54 competency units

This online Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Preparation Program (K-8) from Western Governors University is geared towards students with a bachelor's degree who are seeking teaching licensure in their particular state.

While specific requirements vary state-to-state (fees, background clearances, pedagogical exams), the Teacher's College at WGU provides students with the necessary course work, pre-clinical experience, and teaching demonstrations that are required to gain their licensure.

The Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Licensure Preparation Program (PK-8) is a 54-competency unit program that can be completed in as little as 2 years, and requires a one-time $800 demonstration teaching fee.

Western Governors University offers students a unique tuition plan in which rates are per 6-month term, not per credit hour, to help students get a quality education at a lower cost.
