Professional License/Certification Disclosure
The College of Education anticipates that graduates will seek initial certification in the following programs: Instructional Technology or School Librarian/Library Media
All programs meet the educational requirements for a teaching certificate in Georgia. Most states do not separately license Instructional Technology Instructors, however, the program does meet the requirement for KY and PA. The MEd-School Library program meets the requirements for certification in FL, HI, ID, KY, PA, VT, VA, and WA only. Unless listed above, Georgia Southern’s program does NOT meet educational requirements for certification in that state. Online students wishing to enroll in a program that does not meet requirements in their state of residence will be required to sign an attestation that indicates that they will seek GA licensure. Out-of-state students living in GA do not have to complete an attestation but may need to meet additional requirements in their home state after graduation.
Georgia Southern makes every effort to ensure information about educational requirements for licensure or certification is current; however, state requirements may change. Separate from educational requirements, state licensure boards may require applicants to complete professional examinations, background checks, years of professional experience, residence requirements, jurisprudence exams, training, etc. For more information, as well as for a list of applicable state boards, visit the Georgia Southern State Authorization and Professional Licensure Webpage.
