Licensure Programs

Minnesota state universities offer 181 teacher licensure programs in 50 different licensure fields–all approved by the Board of Teaching. Our programs increasingly offer online options and flexible schedules so working adults can become teachers.
Check out alternative paths to teacher licensure to see the growing number of programs designed for:
- College graduates who want to begin a teaching career
- Licensed teachers who want to add new subject area licenses
- Prospective teachers who are not able to attend on-campus classes
If you are just starting college, consider beginning a teacher licensure program by enrolling in a two-year community or technical college first and then transferring to a state university to complete licensure requirements. More information
