TEACHER TRAINING

What is New Pathways To Teaching in New Jersey NPTNJ?

NPTNJ is a partnership between New Jersey City University and Ocean County College.

NPTNJ offers an alternate route teacher preparation program designed to provide candidates with the skills and strategies necessary to become excellent, successful teachers.

Candidates take NPTNJ coursework at OCC either on campus or as a hybrid program. If you already hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, our program allows you  to become a licensed teacher without having to complete a traditional teacher training program. The NPTNJ program is regulated and approved by the NJ Department of Education NJDOE.
