* Enrollment in the Engineering Science program is limited to those students who
are specially chosen by the Pennsylvania State University faculty on the basis
of evidence that they will profit from the advanced courses in this program.
7. An entering student at Edinboro who plans to follow the 3/2 Engineering
Program will be enrolled in one of two curricula (Bachelor of Arts Degree in
Physics/Cooperative Engineering or Bachelor of Arts Degree in Natural
Science and Mathematics/Cooperative Engineering) which will include the
following course requirements to be taken at Edinboro University for transfer.
I. General Education Requirements
43 sem. hrs.
The General Education requirements for all curricula at Edinboro
University as well as the requirements of the cooperating universities for
courses in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences may be met within the
6 semesters (or equivalent) period the student spends at Edinboro provided
the student works closely with their academic advisor or the 3/2 program
director. The cooperating universities will accept for transfer credit in the
areas of Arts, Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences those cours-
es which are non-professional to the engineer and are not considered basic
skill courses. Additional requirements appropriate to specific cooperating
universities are as listed.
Case-Western Reserve University: A minimum of 24 semester hours in
the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
The Pennsylvania State University: A minimum of 18 semester hours, 6
in the Arts, 6 in the Humanities and 6 in the Social and Behavioral Sciences.
A minimum of two 6 credit sequences. A sequence is defined as a set of
sequential courses in one discipline in which the first course is introductory
and succeeding courses are more advanced. A 9 credit sequence in one dis-
cipline may replace the two 6 credit sequences.
The University of Pittsburgh: One course in English Literature and one
course in Philosophy from an approved list. Please see the advisor.

Additional Specific Engineering Program Requirements
Within each cooperating university, the degree requirements vary from one engi-
neering field to another. In any one specific field of engineering, the program
requirements will vary from one university to another. Due to the wide variety of
engineering program options available, the Edinboro student should work close-
ly with their academic advisor and the 3/2 program director to guarantee the suit-
ability of all courses for their intended engineering major and cooperating uni-
versity.
School of Education
Mission
The mission of the School of Education at Edinboro University is to offer high
quality academic programs at the associate, baccalaureate, master's, and post-
master's levels. The programs are designed to prepare quality teachers and other
professionals to meet the staffing needs of the public, private, rural, suburban, and
urban schools, institutions, and other community agencies in an increasingly
diverse society. This commitment is extended to meeting both pre-service and in-
service personnel needs. Flexibility is maintained in the various programs, and
modifications in those programs are based on continuous assessment.
Accreditation
The School of Education and all teacher certification programs within the
University are accredited by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and by
NCATE, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
Admission, Retention, and Completion of Teacher Certification Programs
The procedures for admission and retention in teacher education are consistent
with current state regulations and ensure that graduates meet the quality standards
that are advocated at state and national levels for the preparation of teachers.
These procedures are applicable to all initial teacher certification programs at
Edinboro University.
Admission
Pennsylvania Department of Education standards for the preparation of teachers
commonly referred to as Chapter 354 require a formal admission process that
allows a student with a major in teacher education to take advanced methods
classes and begin student teaching. This process is referred to as candidacy. To
become a teacher candidate, a student must have a minimum of 48 hours of
undergraduate credits and meet all of the conditions listed below.
1. Earned a minimum undergraduate cumulative quality point average of 2.80.
Transfer students must establish their quality point average at Edinboro
University by taking a minimum of 15 semester hours.
2. Achieved passing scores on all of the following Praxis I tests: Reading,
Writing, and Mathematics.
3. Successfully completed a Level I field experience as required by the indi-
vidual's curriculum with a C or better grade. The Level I field experiences
are: ELED180, SPED295, SEDU250.
4. Successfully completed six semester hours of college level mathematics and
six semester hours of English, three hours of which must be literature.
5. If enrolled in Secondary Education, completed a minimum of 18 credits in
course work in the student's major field.
6. Completed, with a grade of C or better, the course APSY213 Human
Learning.
7. Met with content area co-advisor if enrolled in secondary education.
Students are not eligible to enroll in the Level II field experience until they have
been admitted to candidacy. Students must submit the Admission to Teacher
Candidacy form to the Office of Student Teaching and Field Experiences
(Butterfield Hall 329) no later than October 1, 2002 for admission in Spring 2003
and no later than April 1, 2003 for admission in Fall 2003.
