Yes, but only if you already have an initial license in another field before entering the program. The add-a-field track is a state approved teacher preparation program (SATEP) that recommends candidates to add a PK-K or PK-3 field to their initial license.

If your baccalaureate was not in a license program, the certificate will NOT allow you to teach in a public PreK. You can only add a PK-K or PK-3 field to another license. However, it will provide you with knowledge and skills aligned with current state and national standards.

If you are interested in an initial license, please visit the Bachelor of Education, Elementary Education site and view the following tracks toward the bottom of the page:

• Early Childhood + Early Childhood Special Education
• Early Childhood Care and Education
