Licensure/certification
Wayne State's Work-Based Learning endorsement is designed to prepare students for initial teacher licensure/certification in Nebraska. It has not been determined if this program meets requirements for all other states. If you are planning to pursue professional licensure or certification in a state other than Nebraska, 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.
