After Graduation

From the undergraduate to master’s to doctoral level, our programs offer exceptional value and opportunity. As a result, dedicated students are empowered to create a path to your own success. Our graduates become teachers, improve their current teaching practice, work in colleges or universities as instructors or administrators, and work with pre-service or inservice teachers in university teacher educator programs and school district offices — many earning positions even before earning their degrees.

The U.S. Department of Education requires that all higher education institutions advise students as to whether their curriculum provides them with the eligibility to apply for a professional license and/or certification in the state for which they plan to practice. As such, please review UNC Greensboro’s status by state for the initial teaching license. You should note whether the program either “meets”, “does not meet”, or if there “has not been a determination” of the program’s status in the state for which you plan to practice. Licensure Reciprocity Information
