Mandatory Professional Licensing Disclosure

New York State prides itself on the high quality of its licensed and certified professionals.  For the protection of its citizens, each license and certificate have requirements that individuals must meet in order to be licensed or certified in New York State. CUNY’s academic programs leading to licensure or certification are carefully designed to meet and exceed these state requirements. This is a role CUNY plays in protecting the public.

Per U.S. Federal Regulations, §668.14 and §668.43, and in compliance with the SARA Policy Manual, CUNY Medgar Evers College provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure and certification.

This disclosure does not provide any guarantee that any particular state licensure or certification entity will approve or deny your application. Furthermore, this disclosure does not account for changes in state law or regulation that may affect your application for licensure and occur after this disclosure has been made.

CUNY Medgar Evers College has determined these academic program curricula, if successfully completed, are sufficient to meet the licensure and certification requirements for an initial teaching certification license in the following states: New York State:  New York State Education Department Teacher Certification
