Licensure in Other States. Teacher education candidates who successfully complete an approved PTEP may be recommended for licensure in other states too. However, completion of the UNC program or acquisition of a Colorado license does not assure licensure in other states because other states may have specific, additional requirements.

Teacher education candidates who expect to seek licensure in other states may check with the School of Teacher Education and the Department of Educational Foundations and Curriculum Studies in McKee or correspond with the appropriate state departments of education early in their program to learn of any additional requirements
