  • Completion of areas A-F (login to Jagtrax for specific requirements). All candidates must complete EDUC 2110, 2120, and 2130 before entering the program.
  • A minimum GPA of 2.5 (Regents) or a GPA of 2.5 (Overall) as a transfer candidate into Augusta University.
  • Successful completion of the 351 GACE Ethics for Teachers, https://www.gace.es.pearson.com/test/351. This assessment is not scored but must be completed for program admission. In order to take the ethics assessment, create or update your MyPSC account on the GaPSC website, choose Augusta University as your program provider, and select option 7 as your reason for testing. In one to two days, you will receive a testing link from Pearson. This will allow you to both pay and complete the assessment.
