State Certification & Employment Opportunities
When teacher candidates successfully complete all courses for their program of study, finish all required elements of their electronic portfolio, complete all requirements specified in the Teacher Education Handbook, and pass all three required state exams, they can apply for a state teaching license.
The application process is discussed during the student teaching semester. Mrs. Karen Davis, UCO's coordinator for teacher certification, helps all traditionally certified teacher candidates complete this process. She can be contacted at:
