Undergraduate Licensure Programs

A wide variety of Bachelor's programs (B.S. in Ed.) qualify our graduates to teach subjects in their major field of study in the state of North Dakota (licensure is typically comparable with and transferable to other states, though other requirements may apply). Minor degree programs and endorsements give students options to add specialized credentials. Many field experiences are available culminating in the student teaching assignment during the senior year. Other unique opportunities are also available such as our Cultural Diversity Practicum, Clinical Practice, and studies in the field of English Language Learners.
