Educator Licensure or Certification Agencies
Educator Licensure or Certification Programs
ºÚÁÏÍø offers numerous accredited programs that prepare students for licensure in teaching, administration, and pupil services. We offer licensure program at both the graduate and undergraduate levels as well as a variety of endorsements.
Kent State’s academic programs are designed to prepare students to apply for applicable licensure or certification in Ohio. Completion of one of our programs may not meet education requirements for a license or certification in another state. If you plan to pursue licensure or certification in a state other than Ohio, please review state educational requirements for licensure or certification and contact information for state licensing boards at Kent State's website for professional licensure disclosure.

It identifies both the certification areas and the licensure areas that are required for teaching specific courses.
