Undergraduate Education - Licensure Only: Wyoming

Regis University's Licensure Only teacher education program offers a variety of options for those with a Bachelor’s degree who would like to become licensed in Wyoming or for teachers who wish to upgrade their skills and credentials, and obtain licensure in specialized areas.

Note: Students seeking licensure only in a Secondary (Grades 7-12) area must enter the program with a completed Bachelor's degree in the respective area (i.e. if the student is seeking licensure only in Math, the student's undergraduate degree must be in Math).

Overview

  • The number of credit hours needed to become licensed depends on:
  • A student's current degree
  • The specific required prerequisite courses in a content area
  • The age group to be taught
  • The type of license
  • The number of credit hours awarded for previous learning experiences
  • A minimum of 30-credit hours must be taken with Regis University.
  • Paraprofessionals are offered a 10% preferred tuition discount for all Education courses at Regis University CPS. Contact an Enrollment Counselor for details.
  • Once accepted into a licensure only program, a student is assigned a faculty advisor. The advisor determines a student's individual needs and establishes the required licensure coursework.
