WKU’s Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education is accredited by the Kentucky’s Education Professional Standards Board and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). This program is designed to prepare students for licensure in Kentucky. Thus, we have not determined that this program will meet the educational requirements for teacher certification outside the state of Kentucky. Graduates of this program may be able to apply for licensure in Colorado if the applicant holds a valid standard license issued by another state that carries an identical endorsement to one issued by Colorado.

Additional requirements for state certification may include background checks, official transcripts, fees, additional coursework, training, experience, and jurisprudence and board examination results. For more details about teacher certification requirements and board contact information, please visit the Colorado Department of Education website.
