DISCLAIMER: TEACHER LICENSING REGULATIONS
ARE CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. AS A
RESULT, THE PROGRAMS DESCRIBED BELOW MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
The following pages explain the graduate
programs at Worcester State College, including those that
lead to becoming a licensed teacher in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
Entry into the teaching profession is regulated by law that
outlines the requirements and conditions for licensure. In
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Law stipulates a three-stage
process of teacher licensure: Temporary License, Initial License
and Professional License.
In October of 2001, the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts adopted new standards for licensure of teachers.
Worcester State College’s Education Department has revised
its graduate degree programs in education to meet the new
state standards.
Clinical Experience
The Clinical Experience is no longer required as part of the
classroom teacher Professional Licensure programs. It remains
an integral part of the Post Baccalaureate programs leading
to Initial Licensure and of the specialized master’s
degree programs.
