Teacher Education/Licensure

If you are interested in the initial professional teacher education program (IPTE), you should meet with the CLAS Education Advisor as soon as possible. You can complete your degree, including licensure within a 4-year graduation plan, but only if you declare it early in your college career and meet regularly with your advisors.

Students interested in Teacher Education will major in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The State of Colorado does not allow for an undergraduate major in Education. You will complete a major in CLAS and then complete your Initial Professional Teacher Education (IPTE) requirements. You will be working with your CLAS advisor through the application process. For information about the IPTE program, you can look at the School of Education's Undergraduate Overview.

Undergraduate licensure programs are available in the following areas:

If you already have a bachelor’s degree, you will want to pursue teaching licensure at the graduate level. For more information see the School of Education and Human Development’s web site on licensing programs.
