About
The Teacher Education and License Program (TELP) leads to recommendation for license from the State of Colorado. Undergraduate students seeking a baccalaureate degree select a major from the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences (LAS) and fulfill the requirements for both the baccalaureate degree and the teaching license. Candidates who have already earned a baccalaureate degree will apply for the initial teaching license-only option with the opportunity to apply nine credits toward a Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction. The undergraduate and post baccalaureate programs have their own complete admission processes beyond the admission requirements of the University.
