Doral College’s newly state-approved Educator Preparation Institute (EPI) program provides an alternate pathway to teacher certification in grades K-12 for non-education majors and career changers who hold a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. The EPI helps meet an urgent need in the community for certified teachers by providing interested candidates the coursework, guidance, and support necessary to earn certification and pursue a career in the classroom, including the added value of a Reading Endorsement.

In addition to completing the required coursework listed below, candidates will be provided guidance and support in passing the state certification exams necessary to earn a professional certificate in their selected coverage area. Courses are offered throughout the year in eight-week terms via a fully online, asynchronous model, which provides the flexibility required to meet the needs of working adults. There is also a culminating 16-week internship required.
