Teacher Education
Welcome to Educator Licensing at Colorado State University! We’re delighted that you are considering teaching as a career and hope we can help you accomplish your goals. Our program is built on partnerships with the local school districts that allow future teachers to gain experience in real schools with real students from the very beginning of the program. In Colorado, Bachelor degrees are not awarded in general education, so in order to obtain a teaching license you will earn a bachelor’s degree in a content area. The Educator Licensing Program at Colorado State University offers these teaching endorsement areas for students:
- PreK-Grade 3: Early Childhood Education;
- Kindergarten-Grade 12: Art, Foreign Languages, Instructional Technology;
- Secondary-Grades 7-12: Agricultural Education, Business Education, English, Family and Consumer Studies, Marketing Education, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Speech, Technology Education, and Trade and Industry Education.
If you already have a degree in one of the areas above and would like to earn a teaching license, we have two options:
- complete the Post Bachelor's Teacher License, or
- earn a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and Change while obtaining a teaching license at the same time.
If you have further questions, please contact us. We welcome your visit to our office, your phone call, or your email.
