| To be eligible for ARTC, you must already have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college with a major (or equivalent) in a "critical needs" subject area or closely related field. For purposes of ARTC eligibility, 30 college credits in a subject is regarded as equivalent to a college major. WHAT ARE THE "CRITICAL NEEDS" SUBJECTS COVERED BY ARTC? "Critical needs areas" are middle and high school subjects in which the state has identified a critical shortage of certified teachers. Each year the Delaware Department of Education reviews this list and adjusts it to reflect changing needs in the state. The following secondary subjects are currently "critical needs" in Delaware, and thus covered by ARTC:
HOW DO I ESTABLISH ARTC ELIGIBILITY? You should mail, fax or email your transcripts (unofficial will do) to the ARTC office to confirm eligibility. BE SURE THAT YOUR NAME, PHONE, AND EMAIL ADDRESS ARE WITH YOUR TRANSCRIPT(S). If you are a University of Delaware graduate, please provide your name when you were a student, date of birth and major. You will receive an email confirming your eligibility and outlining the next steps to take. Transcript Pleas(e): DO NOT have transcripts sent directly from your college or university. Always send them yourself so you can be sure your phone and email address are WITH the transcript. We have a drawer full of wonderful transcripts whose owners we cannot contact. DO send all your transcripts together, rather than in bits and pieces. DO NOT use ANY format (like pasting into the body of an e-mail) that turns a 2-page transcript into 60 pages or omits important information like what degree was conferred, when and by whom. DO scan your transcripts as simple, low-resolution black-and-white DOCUMENTS, not as high-resolution color photos suitable for enlarging to poster size. International Transcripts
