This may help to reduce required hours and/or increase free choice elective hours. Degree hours must total 120, but may require more depending on areas chosen.

  • Teacher Education candidates must take the appropriate Missouri Content Assessment (MoCA) for their certification area before they can student teach, and must pass it in order to be recommended for certification.
