Applicants must have a 2.0 minimum cumulative grade-point average in their baccalaureate degree in order to be considered for the teacher licensure program. It is recommended that prospective students interested in Teacher Licensure contact UNC Asheville's Department of Education at 828/251-6420.

Post-Baccalaureate Students

Students who already hold baccalaureate degrees from UNC Asheville or other regionally accredited institutions and are interested in additional undergraduate study have four choices: they may take individual courses;
they may pursue a second degree; they may choose to complete a post-baccalaureate certificate of major; or they may enroll in the teacher licensure program (see below) where they may or may not choose to pursue a second degree. Since the admission procedure is slightly different for each case, we encourage you to contact one of our admissions counselors for more information.

Written approval must be submitted separately for each semester. Verification that credit will transfer to the sponsoring institution is the responsibility of the student.
