Why Choose Taylor?

  • You can fit classwork into your schedule—no designated meeting times.
  • You can complete field experiences while working in your own classroom.
  • You may be able to transfer courses into our program.
  • You will be supported, every step of the way.

The structure of the program is uniquely flexible. You pick the start date for your class—any day of the year. Once you choose your start date to begin your class, you’ll have up to 4 months to complete the coursework.

You can work on a class any time of the day and never have to be online at a specific time. While the coursework is completed online, some classes require classroom observations and experiences that are completed in the your community or even in your own classroom.

Taylor’s program director will be happy to review your transcripts to see if any successfully completed courses can transfer into our program, saving you time and creating a quicker path to licensure. 

In addition, you will have an academic advisor to guide you through each step in our program, as well as a testing and licensing director to support you through those processes at the conclusion of the program.
