Q. What are the criteria to apply for the President's Leadership Class scholarship?
A. The President's Leadership Class is a unique scholarship program designed to cultivate outstanding potential in proven student leaders. Applicants for the PLC should display outstanding leadership capabilities and must have an exceptionally strong academic record. PLC members are awarded $5,610 per academic year for four years. While in college, students in PLC are expected to complete a minimum of 30 semester credits per academic year while maintaining a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25. The application deadline is February 1, 2010. If you have specific questions about the PLC, please contact the Office of Admission and Recruitement at 918-444-2200.
Q. If I already have a degree but it's not in education, how do I become alternatively certified?
A. If you have a bachelors degree in a content area that aligns with a secondary teacher education certification area (English, Math, etc.), then you can apply directly to the State Department of Education to be accepted into the Oklahoma Alternative Certification program. If accepted, they will direct you to take the Oklahoma General Education Test (OGET) and appropriate Oklahoma Subject Area Test (OSAT). They will let you know how much additional coursework you need to take, usually 3-18 hours. Once all that is completed you can be recommended for a teacher license and apply for positions. Within one year you have to pass the Oklahoma Professional Teacher Exam (OPTE) and successfully complete a Residency Year in order to receive full certification. You may not use this route to become certified in Early Childhood, Elementary or Special Education. Those areas require more course work and supervised field experiences. In Tahlequah you can pick up information in the Education Building, Room 202, from Lois Buttress. She would serve as your advisor and can evaluate your transcripts for what courses are needed. Lois can be reached at 918-444-3702 or at buttress@nsuok.edu. In Broken Arrow, information is available in Building C, Room 242, or by calling 918-449-6000.
Q. What is the minimum number of hours needed for a transfer student to graduate with a bachelors degree from NSU?
A. Provided your have all other requirements met, you only need 30 more hours to receive your bachelors degree from Northeastern State.
Q. What separates your Education/Teaching Program from the others offered in-state?
A. While all teacher education programs in the state of Oklahoma have to meet state and national accreditation guidelines, each is organized a bit differently. First, NSU does prepare more teachers than any other institution in the state and has been doing it longer than any of them. Secondly, we try and intentionally move candidates through the program with increasing levels of guided practice. We help them move from being a student to being a teacher. Our expectations are high but so is our level of support to be successful. Third, NSU's program has more field experience than any other in the state. This provides opportunity to have worked in different kinds of schools with several different teachers. We work very hard to assure that our candidates have the knowledge, skills and dispositions to work with the children and families they are going to serve.
Q. What classes do you offer in nursing?
A. All Nursing classes are offered online. A list of course requirements are listed on the
Nursing Program webpage
