Mickey Kosloski, Graduate Program Director
The post-baccalaureate endorsement in technology education is designed to prepare a person who has a baccalaureate degree to be a technology education teacher. Participants who successfully complete this program will qualify to apply for a Virginia teaching license to teach technology education.
Admission
For those students seeking licensure only, they must first apply to ODU as non-degree seeking. Students subsequently complete undergraduate or graduate level courses that meet Virginia licensure requirements. For students simultaneously seeking a graduate degree, they should apply for the graduate program and may take up to 12 credit hours that may be used toward both the M.S. and post-baccalaureate programs. Students should schedule an interview with the program coordinator for program admissions as well as to discuss course evaluation and options.
