Beginning Fall 1 2001 the Graduate Teacher Education Program Online will reorganize into two separate programs: NGE - The National Graduate Teacher Education Program Online and GTEP Online

NGE The National Graduate Teacher Education Program Online offers opportunities for students regardless of location to complete specified degree programs, courses and certificate programs totally through online delivery. Courses will be offered in six week term sessions.
Degree candidates will begin and complete their online specialization through the National/International Online Cluster Program of the Graduate Teacher Education Program (GTEP). Students seeking a degree through the GTEP NGE Online Program will be assigned a cluster or cohort group. Cluster participants will follow program outlines listed and must comply with program requirements for degree candidacy and completion. Limited individual courses and certificate courses will also be available through the national program.

Participants should contact their state department of education for guidance in obtaining certification or licensure or local school district for approval in fulfilling district level incentive programs. Certification requirements vary by state and district. Participants entering degree programs will follow program outlines listed for that degree and must comply with program requirements for degree candidacy and completion.

GTEP Online will provide limited online course offerings supplemental to Graduate Teacher Education site-based programs specific to Florida and Nevada teacher certification. Students must fulfill all requirements set by GTEP to achieve degree candidacy including those that require attendance at GTEP sites.
Beginning with the Fall 2 2001 term, courses will be offered in eight week term sessions and follow the GTEP site-based schedule.

GTEP courses for online delivery have been selected by Program Professors for each degree specialization. Questions concerning GTEP Online course offerings should be directed to Program Professors for the specific specialization area.

Students who began their online programs of study in CIT, ETEC or ETL prior to Winter 1 2001 and are not in a cluster group may arrange to complete their degree through the cluster program. Students must contact an advisor and the cluster coordinator of their program specialization to arrange for a modified program schedule in order to complete their degree. Deadline for completion is prior to Summer 1 2002.
