    This program is supported by the South Dakota Department of Education and the South Dakota Board of Regent
    Upon completing the on-line certification program, you will be able to apply for 7-12 secondary certification in your content area, as a highly qualified teacher according to No Child Left Behind
    The program is intentionally small to provide individualized support
    Last year's tuition cost was $258.80 per credit hour, 2011-2012 tuition costs will be higher. In addition, if the Project SECOND student teaches outside of a 100 mile radius of BHSU, they are required to pay the university supervisor's fee.

You can:

    Complete certification online in one calendar year including student teaching experiences.
    Use your current degree to become fully certified to teach in a secondary school.
    Complete  this program at a distance through one accredited institution, BHSU,  which produces the largest number of teacher education graduates in  South Dakota.
    &amp;#160;Student teach in your local school  district which provides you with an inside track on obtaining a vacant  position in your local area with the support of BHSU&amp;#160;personnel.&amp;#160;
    &amp;#160;Move through the pogram with a cohort of your peers.
