Education Licensure

Graduates of the �ǿմ�ý Teacher Education Licensure Program obtain a Wisconsin Teaching License. Wisconsin is part of the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement, which facilitates the mobility of educators among member states. This agreement makes it possible for educators who hold a certificate or license in one state to earn a certificate or license in another state. States may have additional requirements for certification or licensure, which may include additional coursework, additional exams, or additional licenses covering different grades or content areas.
