The Online Post-Baccalaureate Licensure - Middle Grades (grades 5-8) and Secondary program (grades 9-12) is designed to prepare students with an undergraduate degree to obtain their Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) upon completion. The programs offered are Middle Grades: Science, and Social Science. Transcripts are reviewed prior to admittance, therefore some of these courses may transfer in. In order to ensure all education coursework is current and relevant, we will only accept education transfer credits from previous institutions that are no more than 10 years old. This could also mean some other coursework might be required besides what is listed below. The post-baccalaureate middle grades program will require that students have earned an appropriate undergraduate major. This program requires 26 credit hours as well as passing required state assessments. It is designed to be started in May of the first year and completed after summer A of the following year.
