What is the application process?

Have demonstrated competence in a field for which there is a shortage of qualified teachers (such as foreign language).
Are admitted to regular or graduate admission at the University of Georgia (UGA) OR a certification- granting institution.
Commit to teaching for three years in a high-need school in Georgia following program completion.
Are a U.S. citizen or have permanent residency in the United States.
