Admissions and Registration
Post-Baccalaureate Studies
The Post-Baccalaureate Studies Program provides access to undergraduate courses to individuals who have an earned baccalaureate degree. Students may be seeking a second bachelor's degree, an additional teacher certification, or personal enrichment. Students may enroll on a full- or part-time basis based on personal preference and availability of coursework.
Applications are available from the School of Continuing Education. A completed application and official transcripts of all previous undergraduate coursework must be submitted for review by August 15 for fall semester and December 15 for spring semester. Applications not submitted by established dates are not guaranteed consideration. A $30 application fee is required. The fee is waived for graduates of IUP.
Second Baccalaureate Degree
A student with an earned baccalaureate degree who wishes to complete the requirements for a second or subsequent bachelor's degree must make application and submit official transcripts indicating degree(s) awarded. The student must complete a minimum of thirty additional IUP credits beyond those earned in his/her initial bachelor's degree and meet the requirements for graduation established by the academic department and college in which the new degree is to be earned. It is not possible to receive two or more baccalaureate degrees simultaneously. However, a student may complete one or more secondary majors while earning the primary degree.
Teacher Certification
A student with an earned nonteaching baccalaureate degree who wishes to complete the requirements for Instructional Level I certification must apply as a second bachelor's degree student. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 is required for consideration for admission. To earn Instructional Level I, the student must satisfactorily complete the prescribed courses in an IUP degree certification program at a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and successfully pass the National Teacher Examination.
A currently Pennsylvania-certified teacher who wishes to add a new area of certification may apply to the School of Continuing Education under the category teacher certification. Individuals admitted to an additional teacher certification will follow an individually planned and approved course of study.
