Below are the teacher licensure areas and pathways offered by UCCS and authorized by the state of Colorado, which participates in the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement.

UCCS teacher education programs are designed to meet the licensure requirements for the state of Colorado. Because each state sets its own standards and regulations for educator licensure, our programs do not automatically fulfill requirements for licensure in other states and five U.S. territories.

If you intend to pursue professional licensure or certification outside of Colorado, we strongly encourage you to contact the appropriate licensing agency in that state (see links below) as early as possible. This will help you understand the specific 
requirements for licensure or certification in your desired location and determine how your Colorado license may transfer.

Some states may require additional coursework, exams, or documentation. Early communication with the licensing entity will allow you to plan accordingly and avoid unexpected delays or requirements after completing your program at UCCS.
