The teacher licensure programs at Mount Holyoke enable students to apply for a Massachusetts (and NASDTEC Interstate Contract) "initial" license. Students interested in pursuing licensure in the field of German studies can combine their course work in German studies with a minor in education. In some instances course work in the major coincides with course work required for licensure; in other cases, it does not. For specific course requirements for licensure within the major of German studies, please consult your adviser or Donna Van Handle, teacher licensure liaison, in the German studies department. For information about the requirements for the minor in education, please consult the following webpage with information on "Teacher Licensure" and with Prof. Lawrence in the Psych/Ed department.
(Teacher Licensure) Licensure also requires a formal application as well as passing scores on the Massachusetts Test of Educator Licensure (MTEL) in both the literacy component and the subject matter component. Copies of the test objectives for the MTEL are available in the German studies department and in the Department of Psychology and Education. Licensure application information and materials are available in the Department of Psychology and Education.
