The Teacher Licensure option allows candidates with a degree in a teachable major to complete professional education coursework to earn teacher licensure. The program is aligned with North Dakota (ND) program approval standards but transfers well to other states. Additional content coursework may be needed to meet licensure requirements and will be evaluated upon entry to the program. Passing scores on the Praxis Core Academic Skills exam as well as completion of youth hours is required for full admission to the program. Contact the School of Education for a transcript evaluation to determine a plan of study.

The Teacher Licensure programs are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and are approved by the ND Education Standards and Practices Board. Changes in national and state legislation, standards, or rules can affect academic program requirements.
