Teaching Licensure Requirements For Other States:

The Teacher Education Program at Buena Vista University provides coursework which meets the criteria approved for Iowa certification by the Iowa State Department of Education. An individual desiring licensure in a state other than Iowa should contact the Department of Education in that state as soon as possible and request certification requirements. By learning early what courses are needed for other states’ certification, individuals can plan to meet those requirements by taking appropriate courses at Buena Vista University.
