77. Technique - Students Pursuing Teaching Certificate Have Limited Options In recent years, the state of georgia has created alternative certificationprograms because of teacher shortages, particularly in math and science. http://cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/technique/issues/fall2003/2003-09-26/16.html

September 26,2003 page 16 of 33 Students pursuing teaching certificate have limited options By Kristin Noell Contributing Writer ATLANTA September 26,2003 A career in education is not necessarily something that students at Tech think about for themselves, but students interested in pursuing teacher certification may have an even harder time now than before. Though it is often overlooked, the 2004 Freshman Admission Application includes a question asking prospective students, "Are you interested in pursuing teacher certification as part of your undergraduate degree?" However, there is currently not a teacher certification program offered at Tech, though there has been in the past. Students were previously able to cross-register at Tech and at another university with a College of Education, such as Georgia State or Oglethorpe University. Students pursing this option could take state-required education courses while earning their bachelor's degree at Tech. Unfortunately, the program is no longer in operation. During her freshman year, Rachel Rose, an Applied Math major, discovered that she could get the certificate with only one additional semester. She began taking intro to education classes at Oglethorpe the next fall. However, Oglethorpe cut the program that spring, so Rose, now a junior, has to wait to get her Masters in Education after she finishes her degree at Tech. "I was disappointed [that they cut it] because the program seemed so perfect for me," said Rose.
