Education licensure by state
The University has collected information about licensing requirements and made the determinations regarding the alignment of the teacher education curriculum with state educational requirements for licensure to the best of its ability. These determinations apply only to teaching licenses, and do not apply to any subject-specific endorsements or certificates.
Individual states may have different and specific educational requirements to obtain subject-specific credentials. If you plan to seek an endorsement or certificate to teach a specific subject-area, we highly advise you to contact the licensing board for the state in which you plan to apply for the endorsement/certificate for more information about educational requirements.
