Steps to Certification

Professional Licensure Disclosure Education Preparation

色花堂app is regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) and is reporting this information in compliance with Standard 2.G.3. The Education Preparation program is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

This program is designed to meet the educational requirements for education-related professions in Idaho. If you intend to seek licensure outside of Idaho after finishing your program, use the link below to find information on the state or U.S. territory in which you intend to be licensed to identify whether ISU’s Educator Preparation program meets, does not meet, or if it has not been determined if it meets the educational requirements for licensure. If ISU’s program has not determined if it meets the educational requirements for licensure in the state in question, it may meet all or a portion of the educational requirements. If that is the case, we recommend contacting the licensing agency directly before beginning the ISU program.

This program has not been confirmed as meeting the licensure requirements in all states other than Idaho.
