Malone Transition to Teaching Program (MT3)

Have you already completed a bachelor's degree, but want to add an Ohio teaching license to your qualifications?

Malone University's post-baccalaureate program is designed for people who want to teach grades PreK-12. After successfully completing the program of study and passing State of Ohio required licensure exams, you will be recommended for an Ohio teaching license.

You will work with a program advisor to design a program of study - and determine what will help you earn your degree most quickly. The highly individualized program includes a program of study based on a review of your undergraduate classes. Courses will be both online and in traditional classrooms.
