This degree program allows individuals already possessing a bachelor's degree in a field outside of education to pursue Louisiana Teacher Certification. This degree requires 45 credit hours for completion.

In addition to the university requirements for admission, all applicants must meet admission requirements.

Louisiana is a member of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education & Certification (NASDTEC) Interstate Educator Certification/Licensure Agreement.

This program is part of a Teacher Certification Reciprocity agreement. Under this agreement, the following jurisdictions have signed to accept completion of Louisiana approved teacher education preparation programs from regionally accredited institutions as eligibility for certification in their state.

Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Delaware
Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Kansas
Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Mississippi Missouri
Montana Nebraska Nevada New Jersey New Mexico New York
North Carolina North Dakota Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island
South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont
Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming  

 

The University of Louisiana at Monroe is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and its teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

Therefore, candidates that complete a teacher education program at ULM may still be eligible for initial licensure in states that do not have an interstate agreement with Louisiana.

For more information about this program, including admission requirements, please see the ULM Graduate School.
