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.
