Notes

  1. The Special Education licensure ensures professionals are equipped to teach the range of ages in grades PreK-12. Therefore, your licensure program must meet the requirements across the curriculum areas, which typically includes methods courses in reading, math, science, language arts, and social studies. Your program should include such courses if you have not previously completed them. Additionally, the Ohio licensure programs require professionals to complete 12 hours of reading instruction, 3 of which must emphasize phonics instruction.
  2. If your program includesstudent teaching (graduate level for 4or 8 credit hours), you must apply with the Office of Clinical Experiences in 304 White Hall one year in advance.
  3. Licensure Requirement (not required for graduation):
    Candidates seeking Ohio licensure are required to pass specific assessments in order to apply for licensure. Students should consult their advisors for specific program requirements and refer to the See Ohio Department of Education-Educator Preparation website for more information on assessments specific to licensure type.
  4. All course work for licensure must be completed prior to student teaching.
