Teacher Licensure Program
Students who have already been granted a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution may pursue a teacher licensure. Individuals seeking a teacher licensure must complete an approved Teacher Education Program. Application and requirements for full acceptance are available on the Teacher Education Program's website.
Enrollment Requirements
Students who enroll in a teacher licensure program should be aware that they will have restricted financial aid eligibility which will only cover courses that are required and outlined in their teacher licensure degree plan. To be eligible for federal student loans, a student must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours of teacher licensure coursework.
