Academics
With three programs that lead to a teaching license, Saint Michael’s produces educators with solid professional training and strong liberal arts backgrounds anchored in specific academic disciplines.
Our education programs are perfect for those who have a strong commitment to children, adolescents and learning. Our programs are set up to give students early exposure to classroom practices through 20 hours of observations in a local school as part of our introductory course, "Schools and Society." Students' work in a major and/or licensure program culminates with a semester-long student teaching experience, where theory is put into everyday practice.
Undergraduates choose among sequences that lead either to an elementary education major, elementary education licensure or secondary education licensure. Students who complete one of these programs earn licensure through the State of Vermont, which has reciprocal agreements with many states throughout the country.
According to Federal Title II mandates, Saint Michael's College must publish the percentage of those students who are recommended for licensure. To be recommended for licensure, students must successfully complete our programs by meeting all GPA, course, portfolio and testing requirements. Based on those criteria, we have recommended 100% of our program completers for licensure.
