For International Applicants:

If you don’t have a teaching license, we can admit you as a post-baccalaureate international student but you would need a course-by-course evaluation of transcripts done by a professional evaluation companies. This must be done before we can evaluate your transcript to determine what coursework is needed for teacher licensure. Here is a link to the information on the evaluation companies: . These companies offer different types of evaluations, so the student must be sure to request the course-by-course evaluation.
