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 (additional coursework, exams, or documentation), our programs do not automatically fulfill requirements for licensure in other states and U.S. territories.
Please note that licensing requirements change frequently. UCCS makes every effort to provide accurate and up-to-date information, and our faculty and staff are available to guide students in understanding how their program aligns with licensure expectations.
