HUAccelerate: An Alternate Path to Teacher Certification

Heritage University’s Accelerate program is an alternate route to obtain a Master in Teaching.  This pathway to certification requires that individuals currently possess a Bachelor’s degree.  Upon completion, candidates will be prepared for a K-8 endorsement with a second endorsement in either Special Education or BLE/ESO.

Teacher candidates can either be recommended to this program, through Heritage University or by our school district partners.  Candidates who meet all the requirements and complete a successful interview will be able to complete their program in three semesters, with ongoing support from Heritage University and district-identified mentors.
