| Can I obtain licensure course work through a Master's Degree? |
The only Master’s Degree Teacher licensure program offered through the Winona WSU Campus is in Special Education; however, a Teacher Licensure Collaboration program is offered through the Rochester campus which is a 14 month program that can be completed at a Master’s level. To be eligible for this program you must have a Bachelor’s degree in the "content area" of the teacher education license you are applying for and this program is only for Secondary Teaching License grade 5-12. For more information about this option please contact Jan Sherman jsherman@winona.edu or phaack@winona.edu
