LICENSURE IN OTHER STATES
Completion of Fort Hays State University’s approved programs for teacher licensure and added endorsements do not automatically guarantee that you will be able to obtain a license in another state. You should check with the state department of education in the state you wish to obtain a license in well in advance of completing FHSU’s program or you may contact your advisor or Kerry Schuckman, FHSU Licensure Officer, kschuckm@fhsu.edu, 785-628-4542 for assistance in obtaining information regarding licensure in that state. It is generally recommended that you apply first for a Kansas teaching license, regardless if you plan to teach in Kansas or not. This sometimes provides a smoother, quicker process when applying for the out-of-state license. However, each state has its own licensure requirements, so it is best to contact the relevant state department of education or our department prior to beginning your program. A link for State’s websites is provided below.
