This sample program assumes that General Education requirements have been met by an Associates Degree or by the IAI Transferable Core and that you have completed all Illinois General Education (IGE) requirements for certification. It also assumes that you have taken an introductory Psychology course and at least four semesters of language. Remember that this is a sample program only. Your individual circumstances may be different and you should consult with an advisor. Scheduling of courses is particularly tight for transfer students in teacher education. Be sure that you register as early as possible for courses. It may be to your academic and, ultimately, professional advantage to spread coursework out over four or even five semesters followed by student teaching.
