Secondary Education

After being admitted to IU Bloomington through the Office of Admissions, students must apply to Teacher Education Program (TEP).

Admission to TEP is competitive; meeting minimum admission requirements is necessary but not always sufficient for admission. Late applications are considered on a space-available basis.

We offer a range of scholarships for qualified students. Current students can be considered for most School of Education scholarships by completing one application each year.

We also encourage students to visit Student Central for information about financial assistance.

If you are a prospective student who applies to our Direct Admit Scholars program, you’ll be considered for scholarship opportunities as an entering freshman.

The program culminates in a semester-long student teaching experience in a middle school or high school classroom. There, you'll manage a class, prepare lesson plans, deliver lessons, and assess student performance under the guidance of a mentor teacher.

You can also take on additional field engagements as early as your second semester (depending on your admissions status) through our early field experiences program.

Secondary Education Anchor programs prepare you for one Indiana teaching license that covers both junior high/middle school and high school. Your license will include a specified content field depending on your program of study and any license additions you pursue.
