Advisers are available at all centers/sites. Candidates must pass the basic skills section of the NMTA in order to be admitted to the School of Education. Candidates must pass the content knowledge section of the NMTA in order to be admitted to Field-based II. Courses listed do not reflect the sequence in which they should be taken.
