The Alternative Licensure Program is designed to allow students who have a Bachelor’s Degree in any subject, to take classes to allow them to become a teacher (this is the alternative route). We offer four licenses at Santa Fe Community College (SFCC): Early Childhood, Elementary, Secondary and Special Education.

The SFCC Teacher Academy mission is to professionally prepare critically reflective and culturally responsive educators who expect and support the success of each and every student, and to significantly contribute to the quality of education in New Mexico and beyond.
