Students who earn B or higher in all courses, maintain an overall 3.0 GPA and pass a dispositions assessment will be conditionally admitted to the 4+1 program after passing the state-mandated Praxis Core and Praxis II assessments.

After the 5th year, students will be eligible for New Jersey teaching certification in either elementary K-6 or a content area (English, math, science, social studies, world language, art, music, business, health). Students are eligible to earn a second certification in either Special Education or English as a Second Language as part of 5th year programming.
