Licensure Requirements By Program
The U.S. Department of Education requires UNC to ensure its professional licensure programs meet the educational requirements for licensure in the state a student is located at the time of initial enrollment. This page provides information regarding UNC professional licensure programs. Each program lists the states UNC does or does not meet the educational requirements for licensure. Each program also lists the states that UNC has not determined whether it meets the educational requirements for licensure. UNC continues to research individual state requirements for each program.
All applications for admission to a licensure program are reviewed by the state of the prospective student to determine whether UNC meets the educational requirements for licensure before an admission decision is made for initial enrollment. If a prospective student’s application is from a state UNC has not made a determination, the student will not be accepted for admission until UNC determines that it meets the educational requirements for licensure in the prospective student’s state. If a prospective student applies for admission to a UNC onsite program offered at a Colorado location, UNC will review Colorado educational requirements for licensure.
Often states have additional requirements for licensure outside the educational requirements UNC is required to meet. To better understand licensure requirements, please review the State Licensure Requirements page and our State Licensure Boards page.
UNC understands that professional goals and plans change over time. If a student is interested in pursuing licensure in another state following initial enrollment, please email Licensure@unco.edu. UNC will help the student determine whether their program meets educational requirements for licensure in the other state(s).
Please note that candidates for educator licensure may need to first obtain a Colorado license and then apply through reciprocity to be eligible for licensure in some states. Additionally, some states may require applicants to have relevant years of full-time experience for advanced teaching or administrator licenses. Please contact Dr. Charles Warren, University Licensure Officer at Charles.Warren@unco.edu with any questions regarding licensure in K-12 settings
