Program Overview
As a veteran, service and leadership are in your DNA. Stepping into a classroom setting to prepare the next generation for their futures is one way you can put the skills you gained during your time in service to use. The Troops to Teachers program streamlines the path to teaching certification for veterans so you can prepare for your next career. Established in 1993, the program assists transitioning service members and veterans in new careers in public, charter, and Bureau of Indian Affairs schools.
Because of your service and the skills you gained, you are only required to take six credit hours of coursework to fulfill the education component of the Oklahoma teaching certification. Let SNU help you meet this requirement while taking one course at a time online in a schedule that works for you.
