Professional Licensure and Certification Disclosure

Our programs and curriculum are intentionally designed so that graduates of these programs are prepared to pursue certification or licensure within New York in accordance with current state standards.

For certification or licensure in other states, requirements vary by jurisdiction and are subject to frequent change. At this time, the program cannot independently determine whether this program meets the certification or licensure requirements in the following states: AL, AK, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY.

To support students pursuing licensure or certification outside of New York State, students will be provided access to a committed faculty advisor and/or certification expert. This expert will assist in navigating state-specific requirements, timelines, and documentation for any jurisdiction in which the student intends to seek licensure or certification.

Licensure Determination Tools

In advising students, the University relies on authoritative and regularly updated resources, including but not limited to:

• State professional licensing board websites
• National licensure and certification databases
• Professional accrediting and regulatory bodies
• State authorization and licensure disclosure tools
• Resource-driven webpages such as:
   
  • NYSED Approved Teacher Preparation Programs
  • The Teacher Certification Reciprocity Guide
  • Teacher Certification Requirements by State

Students are strongly encouraged to engage with the resources within their school early in their program to ensure timely and informed planning for licensure or certification in their intended state of practice.
