Maryland Teacher Certification Pathway

The Maryland Teacher Certification Pathway is a non-degree, non-certificate conferring course of study. It is offered through Baltimore City Community College to individuals who already possess a Bachelor’s Degree and are interested in meeting Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) teacher certification requirements. MSDE recognizes courses taken at Baltimore City Community College as meeting state certification requirements. Since certification requirements differ, based on specialty area and differences in specific student educational histories, all students are strongly urged to seek advisement from the program coordinator before registering for courses. For more information on the teacher certification process, prospective students are urged to contact the program coordinator at 410-462-7781or by visiting their website at www.msde.state.md.us.
