Advantages That Stand Out

Our goal is to meet your needs

Accelerated

Credits from your undergraduate degree amd work/life experiences may apply toward the pathway requirements -- shortening the time it takes to get your teaching certification.

Affordable and Competitive

Wilson's tuition and fees are affordable and financial aid is available for those who qualify. Additionally, if you are eligible for the intern track, you could earn a teaching salary while taking your coursework.

Flexible

Since most of our students are working full-time or part-time and have personal responsibilities, the pathways offer most classes in the evening or online.

Additional Programs

Wilson College also offers certification programs in undergraduate education and graduate education.

Wilson met every expectation I had when acquiring my teaching certification. Everyone cares about your success and wants to hear your success stories.

Dirk Brown '19, Special Education, Susquenita School District

Wilson College's TOP program is perfect for the working professional. It offers the opportunity to complete a teaching certificate without the fear of losing employment opportunities in the field of education. Teachers are in huge demand right now, and this program allowed me to meet by academic goals as well as easily secure a position right after graduation.

Richard Martinez '20, Biology, Commonwealth Charter Academy

Wilson College changed my life and allowed me to complete my dreams of being a public educator. They truly care about their students and went as far as to send out job postings. I was very impressed with their ability to communicate and set high expectations.

Stephen Hafele '18, HPE, Central Dauphin School District

My experience in Wilson College's Teacher Online Pathway program was wonderful. I was able to gain valuable experience through internship and acquire a full-time teaching position at the same time.

Crystal Shaffer-Tomecek '20, Business, Conewago School District

As a full-time working mother of three, Wilson's TCP program was the perfect choice for me. The flexibility and supportive instructors made the experience manageable.
