What is the MIC?
Through the MIC program, students earn both a master’s degree and secondary teaching certification–all within one calendar year. Certification is available in English and Social Studies. This 31-hour, full-time program includes a number of required courses designed to immerse students in the educational methodologies needed to become a teacher at the secondary level. Students also complete a fall practicum experience and a spring student teaching experience.

Who is Eligible?
Because the MIC program is a graduate-level program, students must have completed a bachelor’s degree in order to enroll. Each of the certification areas have specific degree and coursework requirements. Check the program pages for more details:
The UK Graduate School no longer requires GRE or Praxis scores for admission to the MIC program.
