I am an Early/Elementary Ed. Major at a college in VA.

kaye MD has an alternative certification route. The MD State Department of Education will conduct a transcript evaluation. If you go to marylandpublicshools.org and click the certification page, you will receive directions on this option.

Good Luck!
