After admission into the Graduate Program, a BCI/FBI background check is required of all students in teacher licensure programs. Additionally, students who do not yet hold teaching licenses must obtain and hold a Pre-Service Teacher Permit from the State Board of Education in order to participate in any practicum or student teaching.
Whenever changes in Ohio Standards for Teacher Education and Licensure are recommended by the State Board of Education, the Ohio Department of Higher Education and passed into law by the Ohio State Legislature, requirements will necessarily be altered to comply with current standards and regulations. The programs listed in this catalog meet the most recent Ohio State Board of Education standards at the time of this catalog publication.
See the School of Education in this catalog for more information on teaching certificates.
