M.A. in Teaching: Elementary Education
Licensure
The state of Iowa has very high standards for teaching licensure. Consequently, an Iowa teaching license is honored in every state of the United States. Whether you plan to stay in Iowa, to return to your home state, or to remain open to possibilities that could come up in the future, an Iowa license will qualify you to teach wherever you go.
The Department of Education offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Teacher Education which include the requirements for teaching licensure in the areas listed in the following table. If you already have a bachelor’s degree, it is possible to fulfill the requirements for Iowa licensure without taking all the courses required to earn a degree from Maharishi University of Management. If you are a licensed teacher and would like to add an area of specialization, we offer endorsements in subjects listed in the table below. We also offer a minor in education.
