Program Notes:

If you are interested in a master's degree from KSU:, you must also be fully admitted into the master's program and complete the prescribed coursework on the master's degree prospectus in addition to courses that are prescribed here for Additional Licensure.
An analysis of additional content-area coursework required at the post-undergraduate level will be completed before entering into the program and a Plan of Study will be created (based on transcript analysis and current State of Ohio licensure requirements). A minimum grade of C (2.000) is required in each of these courses. This coursework would be in addition to the NDGD MCED program requirements

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 Ohio Department of Education-Educator Preparat ion website for more information on assessments specific to licensure type.
