Licensure Content Evaluation-Post Bac
For students who already have a Bachelor's degree, there are two ways to earn licensure at Kent State University:
- Complete the initial licensure program as a Post-Undergraduate student (earn a second bachelors degree). For this option, students complete their content and professional education courses at the undergraduate level, OR
- Recommended route - complete the initial licensure program at the graduate level. At the graduate level we have either the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program or a Masters in Education (M.Ed.) program depending on the licensure area. Students usually complete the content course work as a Post-Undergraduate first (based on their individual content evaluation) and then complete the MAT or the M.Ed. Please see the contact information for each licensure area listed below.
If you are interested earning initial licensure at the graduate level (MAT, M.Ed.) please contact the following faculty for a content evaluation.
