Teaching Education Degrees in Ohio

Ohio requires that its teachers have at least a bachelor's degree in a teaching field or complete a teacher preparation program. Below are some of the top colleges and universities in Ohio for aspiring teachers as well as some of the programs available to students.

Whether students are looking to add additional endorsements to their teaching licenses or are pursuing initial licensure as teacher, they're sure to find the appropriate program at one of the many Ohio teaching schools.

• 535 teaching programs in Ohio accredited by CAEP
• 270 CAEP-accredited Bachelor's degrees
• 148 CAEP-accredited Master's degrees in Ohio

All teaching license candidates in Ohio have to complete a state-approved teacher preparation program. The program is part of a traditional Bachelor's degree route to licensure. The type of license being sought dictates the required coursework.

Requirements to Teach in Ohio

As an example, applicants need 12 hours of teaching reading for early childhood licensure. Candidates also complete a 12-week student teaching assignment for most licensure categories. Passing scores on the Ohio Assessments for Educator series of tests is required.

The OAE exams are taken in two parts. They are for content-area knowledge and teaching skills knowledge. Endorsements in several content areas can be earned by taking assigned exams for specific areas. The pedagogical sector for a grade level needs to be passed only once.

Select education specialties require passing the Praxis subject assessments. Candidates who want to teach foreign languages must pass the Test in World Languages provided by the American Council in the Teaching of Foreign Languages. It includes a Written Proficiency Test and Oral Proficiency Interview.

Scholarships and Financial Aid Available

There are many ways students attending an Ohio public institution of higher education have to pay for college that lowers the cost of tuition. Securing a financial aid package that the state of Ohio offers is one way. Scholarships and grants directly lower out-of-pocket education costs.

They typically are not repaid. Ohio invests resources, so that cost savings are immediately available to students at public institutions in Ohio. The many scholarships and awards are based on factors that include areas of study, like teaching, financial need; academic merit; military status; and more.

The Choose Ohio First Scholarship is meant to strengthen Ohio's competitiveness in STEM disciplines and education. There are also:

• College and university grants and scholarships
• Federal student aid programs
• Additional scholarship and award programs that do not fall under an institutional, federal, or Ohio umbrella

Individual universities provide scholarships and grants that lower tuition. They vary from institution to institution. Some require obligations from grant recipients. Students are also eligible for federal grants that do not have to be repaid.

Requirements to Qualify for In-State Tuition

The difficulty of earning in-state tuition varies by university. Generally, Ohio is considered to be among the most difficult state in which to earn in-state tuition. The Ohio Board of Regents is the agency that establishes the guidelines. Rules vary dramatically by university.

Each university has policies and interpretations of the state law of its own. Several universities have stipulations that make earning in-state tuition less difficult for people who qualify. Ohio University has an 'E-1 Conditional Residency' requirement that grants immediate in-state tuition for as much as 11 hours per term if the student provides proof that he or she makes enough money to pay expenses for a one-year domicile period through employment in Ohio. It is best to check with the school of choice to learn the requirements for in-state tuition.
