Get credit for what you know

If you have a bachelor's degree in a non-teaching field or have significant other academic or teaching experience, you may be able to demonstrate that you already meet some licensure requirements. State universities will assess your background and develop an individual, shortened program to qualify for licensure. Contact a state university that offers the licensure program you need.
