Wayne State's Early Childhood Inclusive Education (birth-grade 3) and Early Childhood Education (PK-3) programs are designed to prepare students for teacher licensure or certification in Nebraska. The Early Childhood graduate program does not meet teacher certification/licensure requirements through Nebraska Department of Education. It has not been determined if these programs meet requirements for all other states (listed below).
If you are planning to pursue professional licensure or certification in a state other than Nebraska or Iowa, it is strongly recommended that you contact the appropriate licensing entity in that state to seek information and guidance regarding licensure or certification requirements before beginning an academic program. For a list of licensing entities, please visit NC-SARA's professional licensure directory.
Also, be sure to notify the Director of Education and Counseling Services at WSC to check for authorization and licensure eligibility requirements if you relocate during the course of a program.
