The special education Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (P-BC) program is designed for certified pre-K-12 teachers who wish to add a special education endorsement to their current teaching certificate. The P-BC requires individuals to hold both a current bachelor’s degree and a current teaching certificate (early childhood, elementary, or secondary education). Courses provided meet Arizona Department of Education educational requirements for an endorsement in Mild/Moderate Disabilities, PreK-12. Teachers may complete the courses prior to being eligible for endorsement. Once candidates have three years of experience teaching in PreKgrade 12, they are then eligible to apply for the full endorsement with the state of Arizona.
