NMJC Announces Alternative Licensure Program for Education

9/11/2011 2:32:52 a.m. - Hobbs, NM. Thanks to recent changes in state regulations, New Mexico Junior College will soon be offering a program that provides new options for people with bachelor degrees.

On October 17, NMJC will launch the new state-approved Alternative Licensure Program in Elementary Education, which is specifically designed to allow persons who currently hold bachelor degrees—in any field—to begin teaching. There are only four online courses required.

Dr. Mickey Best, Dean of Arts, Humanities, and Career Technology, along with Lynda Newman and Ruth Wong, Professors of Education and Reading, shepherd the program at NMJC, and they are understandably excited. When accepted into the program, students can receive their internship license, which will allow them to begin teaching right away while they are still completing the program at NMJC. Accordingly, this puts students on the fast track to a career as a professional educator.
