Educator and principal licensure requirements vary by state. Graduates of Colorado Mesa University’s teacher education programs who seek a license in the United States outside of Colorado will have to apply to that state for review. Where reciprocity between states cannot be determined, that state will evaluate an individual’s credentials on a case by case basis. The other state will either issue their equivalent of an initial license OR issue a temporary teaching license so that the applicant may be employed while completing any outstanding requirements. Follow the links below and consult the specific requirements of the desired state, looking at information for “out of state applicants.” In general, we recommend securing the Colorado license first in order to expedite the review process in other states.
