K-12 Licensure Program

Programs that lead to a Professional Educator License with endorsements in K-12 visual arts and K-12 modern foreign language (French, Italian, Spanish) are available. Instructional strategies and clinical practice on both the elementary and secondary levels are required for this license. Otherwise, all requirements are the same as those listed under secondary education.

Courses for K-12 licensure must be completed in a pre-specified sequence, which is determined by the candidate’s major. Candidates should meet with their education advisor and their major advisor early in their college careers to plan their course of study. In terms of the major requirement, specific coursework and/or assessments are required for some majors. See the list below for the specific requirements for each content area.
