Licensing Disclosure

MSEd Childhood Education Program

New York State ensures a robust and high-quality population of licensed and certified professionals. In order to protect NYS residents’ who would be the recipients of services from these professionals, each license and certificate has requirements that individuals must meet in order to be licensed or certified in New York State. Academic programs leading to licensure or certification within SUNY schools are carefully designed to meet and exceed NYS requirements. This is a role SUNY plays in protecting the public. Other states frequently have their own requirements, so if your goal is to practice in another state, you must check with that state’s licensing and certification requirements.

Per U.S. Federal Regulations, §668.43 (2019 Rule), and in compliance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Manual version 21.1, SUNY Brockport provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure/certification. ^1,2

^{1 The terms related to certification of teachers may vary by state and your state may use different terms.}

^{2 This determination is based on the educational and curricular requirements of each state for certification (i.e., excluding any special, temporary certification that may be granted) and does not imply that other requirements for certification do not exist or have been determined to have been met by this program.}

This disclosure is strictly limited to SUNY Brockport and its determination of whether its MSEd Childhood Education program, if successfully completed, would be sufficient to meet teaching certification requirements in NYS. SUNY Brockport cannot provide verification of an individual’s ability to meet certification requirements unrelated to its educational programming. Unrelated requirements include, but are not limited to:

• Certification examinations
• Fingerprinting clearance
• Verification of citizenship
• Submission of certification application(s)

Acceptability of the aforementioned requirements are determined by the New York State Education Department (NYSED), and are fact-specific determinations.

This disclosure does not provide any guarantee that any particular state 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 certification and occur after this disclosure has been made. Enrolled students and prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact their respective State’s licensure entity using the links provided to review all certification and licensure requirements imposed by their state(s) of choice.
