Designed for Current Professionals and Those Seeking Licensure

Individuals seeking teacher licensure can earn licensure alone or their MEd along with licensure. In addition to academic preparation, courses associated with the MEd or teacher licensure offer the highest level of professional interaction. Students and faculty work collaboratively to become effective teachers and leaders.

Superb Faculty

Timeframe

Those wishing to become licensed should work with the Director of Graduate Programs in Education to complete a degree audit that will detail the requirements met and those remaining to be met. The number of requirements to complete is a factor in how long it will take to become certified.

The length of time to obtain certification also depends on how many courses a student wishes to take each seven-week term.

Lastly, time to obtain licensure depends on when courses are offered and whether a student has the prerequisites. Working very closely with the Director of Graduate Programs will allow the student to put together a plan to achieve certification in a timeframe that works for the student.
