������Ƶ/Haverford College undergraduates may get started on their M.S.Ed. degree as well as the Pennsylvania teaching certificate in early elementary (grades PreK-4), middle level (grades 4-8), or secondary (grades 7-12) education by applying as an undergraduate to “submatriculate” into the University of Pennsylvania, Graduate School of Education’s 10-month, Urban Teaching Apprenticeship Program (UTAP).

What does submatriculation mean?

Submatriculation means that undergrads are admitted, as early as in their junior or senior year, to the UTAP master’s degree program and are able to take up to two courses that will apply to both the master’s and undergraduate degrees. Submatriculants pay the home school tuition and do not pay Penn GSE tuition while taking the two submatriculant courses. Once the submatriculant graduates and joins the master’s degree cohort, they will pay the customary discounted tuition that other UTAP master’s degree students pay. They will be considered for merit scholarships the spring before they complete their undergraduate degrees. This scholarship will be applied toward their master’s degree tuition, and is awarded by the Penn GSE UTAP faculty without a separate application.
