Professional Licensure Notification
Professional Licensure Notification
The U.S. Department of Education has implemented regulations (34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v)) which requires Shepherd University’s Educator Preparation Program to provide a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution’s curriculum meets state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification.
Requirements for licensure vary from one profession to another and from state to state. Shepherd University’s Educator Preparation Program is aligned solely with licensing requirements for and within the State of West Virginia. Teacher education students interested in pursuing licensure in any of the other forty-nine states, the District of Columbia, and/or one of the US territories should always check the information provided directly by the Department of Education within the state/territory/District in which they are interested via the “State Contacts” link below.
