Pathways to Accelerated Certification & Endorsement (PACE)

LC State Coeur d'Alene offers an elementary and secondary route to teacher certification. The PACE program is a competitive entry program in which you need to apply and be accepted to continue.  You will apply by your second year. To qualify for the PACE secondary certification program, you must possess at least a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree and desire to earn a secondary teaching licensure in the area of study that you received your BA or BS degree.
