Important Student Considerations
Admission to a program does not guarantee students will pass a qualifying exam or obtain licensure or certification. Licensing authorities for each state set and enforce their own requirements and standards, which are subject to change. Additional requirements may include, but are not limited to, application, supervision, examinations, continuing education, fees, fingerprinting, and background check.
The State of Tennessee is a member of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC). Tennessee teacher and other educator licensure may be eligible for reciprocity in other states; however, reciprocity is not an automatic or complete transfer of certification. MTSU strongly recommends that prospective and current students not located in Tennessee or who plan to seek licensure or certification outside the state of Tennessee contact the appropriate state licensing agency or board before enrolling in the program. The U. S. Department of Education website provides links to state licensure contacts. Students should discuss their plans with an advisor to ensure they have the most up-to-date information and guidance regarding requirements.

Important Student Considerations
Admission to a program does not guarantee students will pass a qualifying exam or obtain licensure or certification. Licensing authorities for each state set and enforce their own requirements and standards, which are subject to change. Additional requirements may include, but are not limited to, application, supervision, examinations, continuing education, fees, fingerprinting, and background check.
MTSU strongly recommends that prospective and current students not located in Tennessee or who plan to seek licensure or certification outside the state of Tennessee contact the appropriate state licensing agency or board before enrolling in the program. The U. S. Department of Education website provides links to state licensure contacts. Students should discuss their plans with an advisor and MTSU’s Office of Educator Preparation and Licensure to ensure they have the most up-to-date information and guidance regarding requirements.
