Flexibility and Choice. 100% online program for graduate credits.

Fall and Spring Admission:

Personalized Assistance. We are experts on teacher licensing. We provide advice and help for navigating the New Jersey Department of Education regulations and strong faculty support. When you contact us, you get a real person with timely answers.

High-Quality Coursework. Our program includes rigorous, practical courses that thoroughly prepare candidates for teaching. We have separate tracks for Elementary and Secondary Education to provide for peer collaboration and support.

Statewide Reach. New Pathways to Teaching is a fully accredited online program. All can be completed anywhere in the state.

In accordance with New Jersey Department of Education guidelines, the Praxis CORE remains a licensure requirement for candidates who complete NJCU teacher education programs.
