Having a GPA below 2.5 does not automatically disqualify you from our program. Educate Hearts Teaching Corps understands that candidates may demonstrate strengths in other areas. We offer the PACT (Pre-Admission Content Test) as an alternative for those who excel in different aspects of their application. The PACT allows us to evaluate your potential and readiness for our program beyond your GPA. We strive to provide opportunities for candidates to demonstrate their qualifications in multiple ways. Applicants must take and pass a PACT under the following circumstances as mandated by the law: If the applicant possesses a GPA below 2.5. If the applicant has not completed a minimum of 12 semester credit hours in the subject area corresponding to the certificate they seek (18 hours if the certificate pertains to math or science above the 7th grade level). It's important to note that applicants meeting the GPA requirement of 2.5 and having completed 12 to 18 semester credit hours of coursework are exempt from the PACT requirement.
