¹IHE refers to institutions of higher education.
²Alternative, not IHE-based, programs are offered by a variety of organizations, including states, nonprofits, for-profit entities, districts, and various partnerships.
NOTE: Traditional teacher preparation programs typically offer undergraduate programs and often attract individuals who enter college with the goal of becoming a teacher. Alternative teacher preparation programs often serve candidates who are the teacher of record in a classroom while participating in the program, frequently attracting candidates who already hold a bachelor’s degree in a specific content area and may have prior work experience but are seeking to switch careers. Alternative routes to a teaching credential are defined as such by the state and vary by state. Some data have been revised from previously published figures due to changes in data collection for teacher preparation program enrollment counts, which resulted in changes in enrollment counts as reported by state. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
