SPECIALTY AREA EXAMS OFFERED

CAPE GIRARDEAU -- NTE Programs Specialty Area Exams will be offered April 27 at Southeast Missouri State University.

This additional exam, being offered at Southeast and four other Missouri testing centers, is an effort to meet the needs of students affected by a new state certification requirement, according to Jewel Eggley, university testing supervisor.

Under the new criteria, students completing a Missouri teacher education program must take the appropriate exam before teacher certification is granted.

Applications and bulletins for the special session are available at the testing services office, 713 N. Henderson.

Interested persons must return completed applications to testing services before Thursday in order to be eligible for the April 27 test. No late registration or standbys will be accepted, Eggley said.

The cost for the exams is $45 plus a $10 special administration fee.
