In addition to the university requirements for admission, all applicants must meet admission requirements.

Louisiana is a member of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education & Certification (NASDTEC) Interstate Educator Certification/Licensure Agreement.

This program is part of a Teacher Certification Reciprocity agreement. Under this agreement, the following jurisdictions have signed to accept completion of Louisiana approved teacher education preparation programs from regionally accredited institutions as eligibility for certification in their state.

Alabama	Arizona	Arkansas	California	Colorado	Delaware
Florida	Georgia	Hawaii	Idaho	Illinois	Kansas

The University of Louisiana at Monroe is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and its teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

Therefore, candidates that complete a teacher education program at ULM may still be eligible for initial licensure in states that do not have an interstate agreement with Louisiana.
