Bachelor in Lehrerausbildung

The Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP) is a combined 4-year bachelor’s degree and credential program for students desiring an Education Specialist credential. It allows students to receive their bachelor’s degree in liberal studies or early childhood studies, as well as their preliminary special education credential. ITEP is a full-time program, but because it is more cost-effective and time-efficient, students can get into their own classrooms a whole year earlier than traditional programs. In response to the looming teacher shortages in special education and early childhood, the goal of ITEP is to help fill that gap and to provide a more direct route for students wanting a career that truly makes a difference and changes lives.
