Hi all, I need help! I recently graduated from TESU with my bachelors in History. I took the social studies praxis and passed, and was planning on becoming a history teacher. THEN, a job in the music department opened up. I started out as a Music Ed major when I first began my undergrad, and would much prefer to teach music. I took the Music praxis and passed. I have 48 credits in music. My problem is, the CE requirements in NJ state that at least 12 credits must be upper level (junior, senior, or graduate) and I only have 5 credits at the 300 level or higher. So my question is, what is the quickest and cheapest way that I can get the remaining 7 upper level music credits needed for the CE so I can land this job before September? Currently my plan is to complete prior learning assessment portfolio's through TESU, but I am wondering if anyone knows of any quicker or cheaper ways I can go about this. Thank you in advance for any and all insight!
