Professional Licensure Disclosure

Successful completion of SUNY Fredonia’s teacher education programs is sufficient for meeting the educational requirements for licensure or certification in New York as a teacher. Successful completion of the program may also be sufficient for meeting the educational requirements for licensure or certification in other states, but this has not been determined by SUNY Fredonia. Enrolled students and prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact their states’ certification entity to review all licensure and certification requirements imposed by that state.
