Indiana legislation designed to prepare career professionals to teach in elementary, middle, and high schools, passed and has been effective since July 1, 2002.

Called the Transition to Teach Program, the legislation requires all colleges and universities in Indiana approved to offer Teacher Education to make available professional course work and experiences to qualified non-degree seeking candidates who wish to teach in P-12 schools.

Wabash College is able to comply with this legislation without adding new degrees, programs, or courses.

Qualified men with prior baccalaureate degrees may enroll as non-degree candidates and pursue a program of courses and experiences currently approved by the State and provided by Teacher Education faculty.

The Teacher Education Committee has established a rigorous set of criteria as prerequisites for admission to the program. It also has defined a course of study (within our existing program) that will allow candidates to be eligible for licensure by the State in grades 9-12.
