How to Apply for Licensure

The College of Education offers programs for individuals to become licensed educators in Ohio's elementary or secondary schools, or to add new areas of licensure to existing licenses by successfully completing state approved programs and passing Ohio’s required tests.  Upon the completion of all requirements, individuals must apply for the license and be recommended by the dean, head of the teacher preparation program, or designated official to the Ohio Department of Education, Office of Educator Licensure.
