Alternative Licensure
 |
Alternative teacher education programs are for people with a desire to teach in elementary, middle, or high schools but do not have an undergraduate degree in education. Alternative Licensure programs allow prospective teachers to obtain a teaching license without having to get another 4-year degree. Please note that all alternative licensure programs at NCSU require a minimum GPA of 2.50 and a four-year degree from an accredited college or university. There are two types of alternative licensure: licensure only and lateral entry.
Please note: Just because NCSU has an undergraduate education program does not mean NCSU also has an alternative licensure program in that area.
