PROFESSIONAL TEACHER LICENSURE/CERTIFICATION

Pre-education requirements

含羞草研究所鈥檚 nationally accredited education programs have been designed to meet the licensure/certification requirements in North Dakota and prepare students for licensure exams in North Dakota.

North Dakota is part of the National Association of Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) Interstate agreement.听 Although most states accept our teacher education program graduates for licensure, licensure boards in each state are responsible for setting requirements for licensure/certification in their state. On-campus and online/distance students living in or moving to any state other than North Dakota should be aware of the unique requirements for that state. Students seeking to establish licensure outside the state of North Dakota are required to meet with an academic advisor prior to beginning any on-campus or online/distance academic program that would lead to licensure. It is important for all students to understand the licensure requirements in the state they intend to seek teacher licensure.

The Division of Education will provide all students information about teacher education licensing in the state of North Dakota.听 As well, a student鈥檚 academic advisor will provide information on the requirements of other states in which the student intends to seek licensure after the student completes the听State Teacher Licensure Requirements form.

Online/Distance Programs that may lead to licensure/certification include, but are not limited to: Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education, Special Education, Mathematics Education, and Master of Arts in Teaching.

On-Campus Programs that may lead to licensure/certification include, but are not limited to: Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education, Special Education, and all Secondary Education programs (Mathematics, English, Physical Education, Health, History, Biology, Chemistry, Social Science).听

Teacher licensure requirements vary depending on state laws and may include several factors, such as:

  • Completion of a bachelor鈥檚 degree program
  • Submission of transcripts
  • Completion and clearance of a background check
  • Passing of required state-specific entrance exams and basic skills tests
  • Application fee
  • Exam fees
  • Additional Coursework
  • Specialized trainings and certifications

The MSU Office of Extended Learning with the assistance of the MSU Division of Education is creating a state list of requirements for teacher licensure in other states that will soon be posted to the MSU website. Prospective students seeking licensure outside the state of North Dakota should contact either Misti Wuori (misti.wuori@mayvillestate.edu) in the听Office of Extended Learning听or the听Division of Teacher Education听to determine state licensure requirements.

Note: Individual state licensure requirements are subject to change anytime.
